    Ben Hodges Retweeted Heiko Maas  🇪🇺

    Dear Minister Maas, on behalf of the late President Reagan, whom you don't mention, and the millions of American Soldiers who served in West Germany along with other NATO Allies...you're welcome. We are very happy for a reunified Germany.https://twitter.com/HeikoMaas/status/1190547601294286848 …

    Heiko Maas  🇪🇺Verified account @HeikoMaas
    Die deutsche Einheit war auch ein Geschenk Europas an Deutschland. Und das am Ende eines Jahrhunderts, in dem Deutsche unvorstellbares Leid über diesen Kontinent gebracht hatten. Dafür habe ich mich in 26 europäischen Tageszeitungen bedankt. #EuropeUnited https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/newsroom/maas-30-jahre-mauerfall/2262374 …

        Thank you for the reminder, Gen. Hodges. We need more German voices to recognize the steadfast support the U.S. has provided Get.any since 1945 and the role it played in reunification!

        My apologies - as a German who never forgot what the US did for us - I would like to apologize for Heiko Maas. He has a substantial notorious problem with historical facts.

        oh, yes, we can remember the occupying forces well in Franconia and how they would have been disposing of us if the war ever got hot. So thankful. Fulda Gap, Würzburg Gap, etc.

        i have to apologize for Mr. @HeikoMaas, he hasn't learned anything about history and came from a deep provincial state to Berlin and for unknown reasons he became Head of the Foreign Office.

        In fairness, the feckless minister did shower Gorbachev and his evil empire with gratitude, so it all kind of evens out. cc: @HeikoMaas

        Without the Americans, the unification would’ve been a very red affair and quite unsatisfying to the citizens of what was then West Germany. Not to forget the other allies either keeping the beast behind the iron curtain in check.

        I'm sorry that he hasn't thanked the USA yet. We Germans need to do more to ensure that the importance & help of the USA is not forgotten. Without the help of NATO,especially without the USA, Germany would have been help-and defenseless and not reunited today.Thank you very much.
