  Absolutely terrible, in fact worse than horrific. You can understand why peoples feeling of hatred towards the Germans lasted a long time after the war ended.

  My grandmother who passed away during the early seventies could never forgive them since she lost her husband in the bombing of the Woolwich Arsenal. It always greatly amused me that if there was ever a football match on the TV between Germany and anybody else, everytime a German had the ball and an opposition player approached, this little frail old lady would suddenly come to life and start shouting " KICK HIM, KICK HIM "!
