> Anyway, back to your comment: we were talking about the perception of Germany from outside Germany.
That's probably true. But Germans tend to think that everyone else thinks of us as the Nazis that need to repent forever for their sins.

I dont know everything but I resonate way more with Austria for this reason, it feels like that same level of re-education is kind of absent there and it feels more genuine.
It seems to me like most people here either fall into the camp "We must remember the terrible things that happened and do everything to make sure it never happens again!" or in the "I am sick of Nazis here Nazis there, I don't care about Nazis!!!!"
I don't feel like any of these extremes are healthy. I also don't believe the daily Hitler documentaries on TV provide much valuable information beyond sensationalism and keeping the narrative alive.
