REGARDING the bad feeling towards the German footballers, I'm just reading a book about the last war, which paints a different picture of their country.
Most Germans were true Germans and against Hitler and the Nazis and a lot of good Germans worked in secret against them.
And though I was bombed out of my home and felt very bitter about it, reading this story I can see that there are good Germans as well as bad ones as there are with people anywhere.
So we should see both sides of things. We should also remember that most of those young men were not even born during the war.
Can't we ever forget wars? Let us all live for peace.
