Описание: This museum celebrates the history of brave Germans who resisted National Socialism during Hitler's reign. The best known in the West is probably Claus von Stauffenberg, but there were many, many others. No one seriously compares the Iraq war with the near global Armaggedon brought on by the Nazis. That said: the helpless personal shame I felt during this war changed my take on the average German's relationship to the Third Reich. I opposed the Iraq war, protested against it, and knew I wielded about as much influence on its outcome as I do on solar storms or the Great Red Spot. Yet I also knew that we Americans would be lumped together by many from afar as an homogenous, bloodthirsty body, all because we live in the country that launched the invasion. Many Germans opposed Hitler passionately, bitterly, from the Beer Hall putsch to his suicide. Yet over 100,000 Berlin women were raped in the aftermath of the Allied victory, and I doubt that the perpetrators queried their victims about their politics before committing their crimes. (You can learn more at the deeply depressing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany. Most rapes were committed by Soviet troops.)
