pissing off (or is it pissing on?) nazis!

I absolutely love this from a couple of different angles. The first of course being that anything that jerks a nazi's chain is a wonderful thing. And secondly, that the town chose to honor the White Rose - the REAL resistance to hitler. I, for one, am sick to death of seeing von stauffenberg and the other hypocritical cowards in the wermacht deified - they were not anti-nazi until they started to lose. I could go on for several thousand words detailing the reality of those fools, but will simply end by saying in a conflict between them and hitler - I've got no dog in that fight.
On the other hand, the White Rose is a gentle, and all-too delicate flower amidst German society, with a bravery born not out of some fear of losing their Prussian estates to the Red Horde, but to some of the highest and noblest ideals of humankind. Yet, they're ignored, and a bunch of murderous thugs and cutthroats trying to save their own necks get mega movies and breathless TV shows devoted to themselves. Bravo to the town of Riese!
