Not only that, Germany is a nation and a nation, just like the Koreans and the Chinese, whose state television broadcasts John Rabe's fabricated Nanking Massacre at the end of every year.

The following is from Sumio Yamagiwa's column in this month's Hanada magazine issue. 
A statue of a comfort woman installed by a Korean group and others on public land near the Japanese embassy in central Berlin, Germany, has prompted the local authorities to revoke permission to install the statue and demand its removal.
However, due to Korean-affiliated groups' resistance, local authorities have reportedly decided to install the statue for now.
What will happen in the future is unpredictable. 
The statue's unveiling ceremony occurred on September 28, and the local authorities revoked permission to install it on October 8.
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi asked the German foreign minister to remove the statue. 
Japan's swift response to the question was fruitful, but abandoning the project at this stage shows the depth of the comfort women issue. 
In Germany, Korean organizations are active, and two statues of comfort women have been erected on private property.
Besides, statues of comforting women are displayed in churches and other facilities.
The fact that comfort women are advertised as a war crime, just like the Nazi Holocaust, is a serious matter. 
The monument attached to this statue of peace in Berlin says:
During World War II, the Japanese military abducted countless girls and women from the Asia-Pacific region and forced them into sexual slavery. This peace statue is a reminder of these women's grief, known as comfort women, in honor of the courageous victims who broke their silence on August 14, 1991, and demand that such atrocities never happen again to the world. 
Comfort women have not forced sex slaves, of course.
They were prostitutes who worked for the military during the war, received compensation, and were legal at the time.
But Japan continues to be condemned for its false history. 
But why does this happen every time, 75 years after the war?
What was the 2015 Japan-Korea Comfort Women's Agreement, in which former Prime Minister Abe once again apologized to the comfort women while he was in office, and Japan spent 1 billion yen from the government budget as a token of its apology? 
The Japanese government's explanation at the time must have been that it would never revisit the issue of comfort women.
However, the number of comfort women statues continues to grow even after the Japan-Korea agreement. 
According to the "Nadeshiko Action," which tackled the issue of comfort women early in Japan and recently extended its activities to the United Nations, the world is about 30 in the United States, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Taiwan, etc., except in South Korea. There is a statue of a comfort woman and a monument to a comfort woman.
It expanded most of them under the Abe administration, and about half were installed after the Japan-Korea agreement. 
It shows that the Japan-Korea Comfort Women's Agreement has done nothing to resolve the comfort women issue.
In the world, Japan is perceived as having "acknowledged and apologized for its sex slaves." 
When the district authorities in Berlin rescinded permission to install the comfort women's statue, a spokesman for the South Korean Foreign Ministry countered, referring to Japan's apology. 
"The government's involvement in removing the girl's statue artificially does not help to solve the problem and goes against the spirit of apology and remorse that Japan has made clear to the public. 
It's ridiculous for South Korea to keep rehashing the issue by turning it into a play of Japan foul, only to have it reversed because the prime minister apologized for the false history.
We pressured the Japan-Korea comfort women's agreement to reconcile with Japan and South Korea at the height of the North Korean crisis, but Japan should not have conceded with its history, even if it was the US. 
The former Abe administration came into office hoping to restore Japan's pride, which had been undermined by false history.
But what happened in 2015, 70 years after the war, was the exact opposite of that.
In July, the Japanese government played up the blunder of recognizing the "forced labor of conscripted workers" in its bid to list the Industrial Revolutionary Heritage of Meiji Japan on the World Heritage List.
In August, the "Abe Statement" effectively told the world that war was a war of aggression. 
In October, China applied for the Nanjing Massacre to be registered as a UNESCO Memory of the World Heritage Site.
And in December, the "Japan-Korea Comfort Women Agreement" was reached. 
In an interview with the Sankei Shimbun (October 15), Mr. Abe said he could "put an end to the history problem" by verifying the Kono Statement. 
the omission of a middle part
In a letter written by former Chancellor Schröder and his wife to the mayor of Berlin's Mitte district, they wrote: "Germany has settled its Nazi history and has earned the respect of the whole world. Germany must not be complicit in covering up Japan's war crimes. 
Successive governments and the Abe administration have been guilty of continuing to apologize for their false history.

* I wrote a rebuttal the day before yesterday, with heartfelt anger and the greatest contempt for the German people, about a statement by the late former Chancellor Schmidt that I had searched the internet.
Japan's handling of its post-war defeat was the greatest and best in human history.
It showed the world that Japan had paid in full.
It is for all the unreasonable demands of the war, even those of non-partners.
Simultaneously, it also made it known in the world's languages in response to the benefactors' labors who had covered all of the ODA to Korea.
Most Japanese people, myself included, were unaware of these facts.
Of course, the reason is that until August six years ago, Japan was dominated by the Asahi Shimbun.
Mr. Yamagiｗa is not wrong in his editorial, but he does not quite hit the bull's eye in suggesting that Abe's handling of the situation was problematic.
The late former Chancellor Schmidt's comments, which predate Abe's arrival, were based on the genuinely despicable anti-Japanese ideology of the German people.
By undermining Japan with a false history of Nazi-like crimes, Germany has distracted the international community from its own worst crime in human history, the Nazi persecution of the Jews.
Germany has placed Japan in the same political prisoner position as the Nazis in the international community.
The Nanking Massacre, invented by American journalists, has been co-opted by a German, John Rabe.
Not only that, Germany is a nation and a nation, just like the Koreans and the Chinese, whose state television broadcasts John Rabe's fabricated Nanking Massacre at the end of every year.
Before condemning Abe's painstaking efforts, we should be outraged at Germany's baseness and the viciousness of the German people, as represented by the Süddeutsche Zeitung and others.
We must correct Germany and the German people.
As readers know, I have been correcting the world about Nazism in the name of anti-Japanese education in China and South Korea since I first appeared on the scene in 2010.
