The Germans

Dear Diary, until now I didn’t want to write about this in you because I tried to put it out of my mind, but ever since the Germans are here, all I think about is Marta. She was also just a girl, and still, the Germans killed her. But I don’t want them to kill me!” – Eva HeymanRate it:
I was 11 when the Germans invaded Holland. I remember seeing the planes flying overhead and sensing the great agitation of my parents. I thought we might get bombed or we might not get enough food, but the idea that we faced another threat because we were Jewish didn’t even enter my head. My mother was a Parisian Catholic, and although my father had registered us as Jewish in Amsterdam in 1938 — he wanted us to be part of the Jewish community, like the rest of his Dutch family — my older sister and I weren’t really brought up as Jewish. – Jacqueline van MaarsenRate it:
‘On September 7 1944 we were moved to the prison on the Weteringschans, and I was put in the same cell as those sentenced to death. This was followed, four days later on September 11, by a transport to the concentration camp in Amersfoort, where I was selected for transport to Germany. Luckily, this transport did not take place. Shortly before New Year the prisoners, myself included, were moved to Wageningen where we were similarly put to work digging under the watchful eye of the Germans. As we approached Zevenaar the vehicles accompanying us were attacked from the air, fired on by British Spitfires. Unfortunately, a few people were killed. I made use of the confusion and escaped into a field. I hid for a few days by a farmer. Once, in Barneveld, I almost fell into German hands again during a raid by the Nazi secret police. Still, I finally arrived home in Hilversum on Good Friday and I decided it was necessary, until the eventual liberation, to build a hiding place. So I had been awa – Victor KuglerRate it:
During the Second World War, the Germans took four years to build the Atlantic Wall. On four beaches it held up the Allies for about an hour at Omaha it held up the U.S. for less than one day. The Atlantic Wall must therefore be regarded as one of the greatest blunders in military history. – Stephen AmbroseRate it:
A verb has a hard enough time of it in this world when it is all together. It's downright inhuman to split it up. But that's what those Germans do. They take part of a verb and put it down here, like a stake, and they take the other part of it and put it a way over yonder like another stake, and between these two limits they just shovel in German. – Mark TwainRate it:
Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win. – Gary LinekerRate it:
(President) Schulz's words are an example of German arrogance, we're talking in Warsaw, which was destroyed by Germans. In (Warsaw's) Wola (district) 50,000 men, women and children were murdered by officers of the German state. – Mariusz BlaszczakRate it:
A provisional translation by an interpreter shows that he expressly announces, in the name of Allah, and testifying his allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a famous Islamist leader, an act of revenge against the Germans because they're getting in the way of Islam. – Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim HerrmannRate it:
After 1945, Germans first referred to the end of World War II as collapse. – Johannes TuchelRate it:
At the end of WWII we did not have an undersea advantage. The Germans had developed submarines with snorkels and the US was searching for how they would deal with them. The new subs could avoid radar detection and were quiet when using their batteries. Then, nuclear submarines came along. Passive sonar worked really well against them because they make noise continuously. Passive sonar works well against nuclear submarines and is less effective against diesels. – Bryan ClarkRate it:
At the very least it appears the gap between the IMF and the Germans appears to be narrowing and that has been very well received by investors. – Nick StamenkovicRate it:
Because of the envy they had. Imagine Germans bleeding to death in a terminal economic crisis, with hyperinflation, and the Jews they kept getting rich. – The DAIARate it:
Because the Germans didnt know where the real invasion was coming there werent a lot of soldiers actually at the beach, but they had a lot of troops inland, fortitude and its smaller operations helped convince the Germans not to move to Normandy immediately. – John CoyneRate it:
Bill Richardson operated a back channel with the Germans, bill Richardson didn't need the Mickey Bergman administration for that, especially after the Wang release. Bill Richardson'll do the back channel and then from the Iranian perspective they get their man out. – Mickey BergmanRate it:

Even though German deaths also exceeded well over 10,000 in the battle that stretched deep into January, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier took special time to thank the U.S. troops. On this day, we Germans would like to thank the United States of America. The American armed forces, together with their allies, liberated Europe and they also liberated Germany. We thank you. – Frank-Walter SteinmeierRate it:
Even when we asked Germans they had problems understanding the forms, if the Germans found them unreadable, how could we [migrants] read them? – Munzer KhattabRate it:
For the French, this means we must carry out reforms that break old habits once and for all. It also means the Germans will have to break taboos, if the member states are not ready for any form of financial transfer in the monetary union, as is the case today, then you can forget the euro and the euro zone. – Economy Minister Emmanuel MacronRate it:
For us Germans, Israel's security is of great importance. – Sigmar GabrielRate it:
Germans are very sensitive about [ privacy and government surveillance ] so it could be that they are also skeptical to use this tracing app once its ready. – Ulrich BaumgartnerRate it:
Germans have developed an obsession about security and safety yet when it comes to World War Two bombs that are found just about everywhere we just accept it, it touches on Germany's responsibility and war guilt. – Jessica Gienow-HechtRate it:
Germans have earned this money by the sweat of their brow, be it at a desk or at the steelworks here in Riesa ... so that a distant and anti-grassroots government can hand out horns of plenty as if it's the world's social welfare office. – Juergen GanselRate it:
Germans think in terms of security and seem to feel secure at the moment. That's really noticeable in the way they're spending - the restaurant industry is booming, people say: 'Let's just have a bigger, better party because if I can only get 0.0 or 0.1 percent interest on my money it's not worth investing it so I might as well just spend it. – Christian LohseRate it:
Germany wanted this too, but we didn't dare say so for fear of others complaining about 'you rich Germans'. – Roderich KiesewetterRate it:
