Was that from Luxembourg TV? Strange accent, I could hardly follow it. How about you Marion? 
I have been aware for many years of the reconciliation between Americans and Germans. I was on my way to one such meeting in the Czech rep. when 9-11 happened. In Holland there is also discussion if we should include the Germans in our ceremonies. The majority is still not in favour of that and especially the former resistance don't want any of it. I do know that in some memorial services germans have been present incognito. I just read a story of a British vet on this subject. He wrote he was at a reunion in Belgium where there were also Germans present. Men he had fought against personally (well, his unit against their unit) 60 years ago. Not to offend his hosts he sat down with them and had a little chat, but then got up and refused to be photographed with him.
I think Americans have more distance between that and see it more as "we did our job, they did theirs. Now we are 60 years on and lets get on with it". Europeans in general have a harder time with it. I know a lot of British and Dutch veterans who would never shake hands with german soldiers. Some will of course. But they are a minority.
