I disagree... *many* Germans view this day as their liberation... I see no reason not to remember that...
I also feel that taking the approach of "those sacrifices killed our men and prolonged the war" does nothing to promote healing. It continues to support an us vs. them mentality that was part of the problem to begin with... nothing wishy washy about it. It is time to move on from the confrontational approach.
