How does one get over this divide in their mind of believing in the ideology of the Germans during WWII but feeling like a traitor to their ancestors for doing so, knowing that these people killed their kin and ancestors? Surely the British shouldn't have fought against Germany in WWII but they did, and is a person a traitor to their own people if they sympathize with the enemy? Hitler did everything for his people but that was for his people, his people only, many of us are not of his people nor were our ancestors his people. What again is the reason for non-Germans to sympathize so heavily with Germany? Or for whites to all band together when we have such disparate cultures and bloodlines, so often at odds with one another? I feel zero feelings of natural kinship or commonality with Germans (or any continental European really, sorry to say, no offense meant to anybody) when I interact with them in real life, not hostility but just complete lack of connection. In comparison to the faces of those British soldiers that were killed, young men who look just like my cousins, my uncles and sons... it's heart wrenching to think of them dying so young like that... I wonder has my ideological agreement with the Germans been just baselessly intellectual all these years and not grounded in anything concrete or physical or real? What would the men who loved me and helped rear me up when I was a little girl think of me now? Feel about ready to throw all of this away... There's got to be others on here who feel the same way that I do? I am sincerely not intending to sow discord but just searching for answers I am sure that others on here have worked through before?
