I'd just like to call that statement out for the Iron Cross first class with Oak Leaves for grotesque, vile, inhumanity on stilts. 

Hint: some of us are old enough that our parents lived through the second stage of the Blitz on London, complete with bomdardment by drones (the V-1). Here's Clive Stafford-Smith with an explanation of what this stuff *really* means, in terms that might hopefully make it explicable to a westerner:

Second hint: the US media are not covering what's actually going on out there, because news of family parties of brown-skinned people being turned into hamburger isn't good filler for selling advertising.
