We all are products of our environment to an extent.
So i do empathize with you. I would probably be the same, if i were born elsewhere.
After WW2 Germany became the social experiment about socially engineering an entire nation into becoming pushover indecisive pseudo-pacifists that would be easy to control and be of no threat ever again.
Finland, while being being allied with the Nazis avoided this fate due to switching sides at the last second, thus Finland kept the original leadership and the political structure it had during the war.
Here WW2 veterans are worshipped, and they are the eternal political issue where if some political entity wants to score free points, they'll just cry about how the veterans are being mistreated, and it will actually work.
Same shit can be seen how Finnish Bernds go on and on about the Winter War etc. It's the reflection of Finnish society where that's just something Finns do; circle jerk about how shit Russia is and how grandpa kept Finland independent.
Hell, me typing this post right now is part of this. I am societally programmed to be like this, and so are the Germlings.
My experience with Germlings is that anything even vaguely related to the veterans or war is frowned upon, and the old Germany has very little if anything at all positive to give, and is best ignored.
