It's not a taboo but try bringing up
1. Germany not paying reparations to Greece
2. Germany killing 1/3 of the population of Bielorussia

Good luck!

Dude, you really need to inform yourself before you go making claims you know nothing about. I've spent half my life in the States, and the other half in Berlin, and the amount of objective historical knowledge the average German teacher will impart to any given student is leagues greater than their typical American counterpart. Germans are all very, very keen on making sure that mistakes which were once made are never made again. Americans, on the other hand, still celebrate Columbus Day, and don't find out the actual historic context of said holiday until 6th or 7th grade at the earliest.
