It is also illegal to deny that the Holocaust ever happened. So while the Germans may outlaw discussion of Nazi ideology, ect., they are not necessarily keeping silent about their mistakes and not trying to redeem themselves.

I've heard about those but I'm talking more about the general attitude of Germans towards the issue rather than idividual attempts (which I admit do exist). But in general it's still like I described. Everytime I've been there people literaly cringe and bow in shame when the topic comes up... everything that revolves around the 3rd Reich, Nazism or even far-right extremism is met with severe rigidity... Make a joke about it and you'll be considered a certified psycho. I've heard German comendiants are "advised" not to make jokes about WW2 or the 3rd Reich in public performances not only in Germany but also abroad.
