Germany and Japan reflect on the crimes of World War II, reveal the truth, and cover up the scars le

In recent years, the extent to which Germany and Japan reflected on their crimes during World War II has been the focus of much controversy. Many people think too highly of Germany's introspection and think that Germany is more thorough in the face of historical crimes, but is this true? It's worth going deeper**.

Germany and Japan are considered to be "raccoon dogs" in their reflection on the crimes of World War II. From a certain point of view, there are similarities in the attitudes of the two countries towards their own historical culpability. Although Germany may seem to have implemented a number of laws and rituals against Nazi crimes, does this represent a true understanding of the truth of history? It is necessary to have a deeper understanding of what is really behind these so-called "introspections".

Japan did show reluctance to reflect on its World War II crimes, but was Germany better than Japan? Many people mistakenly believe that Germany is more aware of historical crimes than other countries, but is this really the case?

In 1985, the United States** visited Germany, but a controversial incident occurred: the German Chancellor arranged for ** to pay homage to a German military cemetery somewhere. The cemetery is home to soldiers of the SS, whose crimes during World War II are so numerous that even the Soviet Red Army refused to accept their surrender. This act sparked widespread controversy and condemnation, not only from World War II veterans, but also from prominent figures such as Erie Wiesel, who considered such behavior to be disrespectful to SS victims and a distortion of history.

What is even more shocking is that the German chancellor's response to this matter has not been convincing. Although he tried to release the soldiers buried there as young children and tried to explain the situation for him, he did not cancel the worship service. This behavior has raised widespread questions: Is this attitude towards history really a manifestation of introspection and acceptance of responsibility?

In addition, Germany's attitude towards reparations for historical crimes has been criticized. Germany ransacked the Greek treasury in World War II, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, however, Germany's reparations were only a pitiful amount. By contrast, even if Japan is not liable to South Korea under international law, Japan's compensation to South Korea is, to some extent, much higher than Germany's compensation to Greece, which raises questions about the attitude of the two countries to reflect on their historical crimes.

In general, there are many questions and controversies in Germany and Japan about the remorse and reparation for the crimes of World War II. This makes people wonder if the true recognition and acceptance of historical crimes is really as profound and thorough as the outside world thinks.

In the face of such historical topics, we should remain vigilant and not blindly accept the appearance of so-called "introspection", but go deeper into the truth of the facts. Historical responsibility for the crimes committed during World War II should not be forgotten or covered up at will, but should be squarely faced and assumed so that we can draw lessons from history and promote the peace and development of human society.

This kind of sincere reflection and understanding of history is the attitude we should have in the face of history.

The above has profoundly revealed the various controversies and problems between Germany and Japan in reflecting on the crimes of World War II. This article leads the reader to historical reflection and depth**, and we are forced to re-examine the attitude of these two countries towards their own history.

First, the author points out the overestimation of the extent to which Germany reflects on its crimes in World War II. Many people mistakenly think that Germany has shown a deeper understanding and introspection in the face of historical crimes, but the article exposes the complexity and confusion of Germany's treatment of history from the events such as the visit of the United States to Germany in 1985 and the German Chancellor's arrangement of a visit to the German military cemetery. Some of Germany's actions have not only failed to show genuine introspection, but have instead provoked widespread questioning and criticism, which is worthy of our vigilance.

Secondly, the article mentions Germany's attitude towards historical reparations. Germany ransacked the Greek treasury during World War II, but reparations for this period of history were far from sufficient. In contrast, even if Japan has no legal obligation to pay compensation to South Korea, it is, in some ways, much higher than Germany to Greece. The injustice and inadequacy of this attitude towards reparations have raised more questions about the historical reflection of the two countries.

The point of view of this article is well worth pondering. When facing history, we cannot easily accept the "introspective" appearance of the appearance, but need to understand the truth behind it. Historical cognition and reflection should not be limited to formality, but should be deeply considered and sincerely accepted by the mistakes and sins committed in the past. Only in this way can mankind draw lessons from history and promote social progress and peaceful development.

Overall, the commentary** provides an in-depth analysis of the problems of Germany and Japan in reflecting on the crimes of World War II. It reminds us of the need to be cautious when examining history, not to be deceived by appearances, and to truly understand the nature of history in order to build a clearer and more sincere understanding of history.
