If it was music that was written for the Nazis, boycott it..if it is hate speech apply what laws you can. If you see people giving Nazi salutes, or what looks ilke them, tell them to stop, as I have to do because these dimwits at church now like doing it, and it is not an unbroken Catholic tradition that Nazis usurped.

We can't stop eating cabbage because they ate it, and we can't stop doing the polka because they danced it. The Germans have lovely music, and we should enjoy it, for our sake and theirs, as they went through a period, hopefully now gone, where they felt obliged to disown it because Hitler used it.

But we should never conflate the average German soldier with Naziism..he or she?? was caught up in one of those tidal waves that sweeps the world now and then...very many paid with their lives...and were horribly broken if they lived. Those pictures you see about the captured German soldiers, many going off to Siberia, are so sad...

So if it is German soldiers singing German songs, don't leap to conclusions unless there is blatant propaganda or racist stuff or whatever. There is a universal spirit in these songs sung by these soldiers, or sung by others with videos of common soldiers..that shines through. As they said in Vietnam, let God sort it out..well, that is not the entire quote but enough of it. mg
