Blog 43: Commemoration of Armistice Day

For the first time in history, Germany participated in a commemorative act in France for Armistice Day.

BBC News explains how France and Germany had tried to grow closer over the last few decades and this is a significant move by Germany, although it seems it might benefit more France.

Remember that, after all, they are "celebrating" the day that Germany was defeated in France. It shows a lot of "maturity" to accept the invitation to the party where your neighbors celebrate that their great-grandparents were better than your great-grandparents. Takes time, takes humility.
