I just hears this on the radio.
That the German veterans are not honoured is disgraceful, but hen what else would you expect.

Absolutely disgraceful..
To have your death confirmed by a low ranking bureaucrat, and only as an afterthought, in response to an inquiry..

This man deserved better

What is even more shameful is having the event reduced to a status of 'problematic'..

Pay for the mans funeral for Gods sake!

In its obituary for Kaestner, Die Welt noted: "The losers hide themselves in a state of self-pity and self denial that they happily try to mitigate by forgetting."

That's really pretty sad. Nations should hold reverence for those who served to protect that nations interests, even if we disagree with thier political posture.

Sword fish..agreed..

Gustavo..that comment pretty well fits the memé that is given to veterans such as this man by their MSM.The only self loathing and self pity i see from German veterans i am associated with, is ascribed to them from a profession that would love to portray the German soldier as forever in repentence for any sins committed anywhere, at anytime.

One only has to read SS: Alibi of a nation to see the germination of the seed in this..
