 Quite. Of course at our age, we had relatives and friends who did serve in 
 WW2. And I don't remember any of them referring to Germany after the war 
 as still our enemy. That tended to be reserved for Russia, who were our 
 allies in that war. 
  
 Those who harp on about Germany being our enemy today tend to come from a 
 later generation.
