I spent a while in Germany, I wouldn't say they are filled with excessive guilt, barring a small minority of ultra left who put up banners "Bomber Harris do it again". One shouldn't mistake a coterie of politicians, small in number, that were groomed by the Atlantikbruecke to affect German guilt and publicly proclaim it, as the people. Israel of course shamelessly abused whatever guilt there was and extracted billions of USD on that basis from Germany, but deep down the majority of Germans do not feel guilty in the slightest. And why should they? The crimes of WWII were committed by a tiny minority of Germans, only 100,000 at most. Germany is a strange place though. Very polite people on the surface, but with a capacity to let the blonde beast hang out, and certainly no way near as friendly as Thais, or even Americans, or Brits. That's probably because Germans are highly intelligent, all intelligent people are very dangerous. Chinese and Vietnamese and Japanese too are strange, not because of guilt, but because they are so intelligent.
