My ex father-in-law (now deceased) served in the US Army from 1939-1946. He was on the beach on D-Day and fought hand-to-hand during the Battle of the Bulge (where was was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star). He saw the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan and was so overcome he had to be sedated as the memories he had suppressed all those years ago came flooding back.
He hated the Germans because of all the things he saw during his time in battle. He would never knowingly buy anything German or Japanese made. He lost many of his friends and family fighting the enemy....something he never forgave the Germans or Japanese for.
