I can imagine that it is a very sensitive issue in Germany...  Once, when
I was in highschool, this one guy was joking around but actually hurt
someone's feelings unintentionally.  He was told that there was a new
foreign-exchange student in his 3rd period class who'd come the day before
when he'd been sick and at home.  His classmates told him that she was
really nice.  He asked where she was from, someone said "Germany" and he
replied with a little chuckle "So I guess I shouldn't ask her about the
war then, eh?"  She was standing right behind him.  Man, did he feel like
a heel for that...
