Germany has tried its very best to put its Nazi history behind it.  The German government has paid reparations to families who were victims of the Nazi regime.  Those that did fight WW2 for Nazi Germany mostly do not want to even talk about their part in that war.  There are no bases and no statues honoring those who fought that war valiantly for their nation.  But here in the United States the South still holds General Robert E. Lee as a hero.  Lee was a colonel in the United States army before the confederacy. Lee was a traitor.

The South has continued honoring confederate military leaders to this day. Fort Benning is named for Henry L. Benning, a brigadier general Confederate States army.  Fort Bragg is named for Civil War veteran General Braxton Bragg.  Both of these men were traitors to the United States.

The Edmund Pettus Bridge carries U.S. Route 80 Business (US 80 Bus.) across the Alabama River in Selma, Alabama. Built in 1940, is named after Edmund Winston Pettus, a former Confederate brigadier general and U.S. senator.  He too is a traitor.

In my working days I traveled to the South three times and each time I was advised not to discuss anything about slavery, Black people, or anything about the confederacy.  In spite of my best efforts there were always some people who wanted to discuss those issues.
