Germany is breaking one of its major
post-war taboos by announcing there will be an annual Veterans' Day to
remember fallen soldiers.
The
country's defence minister has unleashed a storm of criticism from
opposition politicians and pacifists who object to the army being
honoured given Germany's bloody past in the 20th century.
German
Defence Minister Thomas de Maizière has proposed May 22 as an annual
Veterans’ Day to honour former soldiers living and dead.

Taboo: Germany will have an annual Veterans' Day
to remember fallen soldiers, including those pictured here who invaded
Austria in 1938
'Against the background of our operations and the questions they pose our society, it is time to speak objectively and openly about our veterans' policy,' de Maizière said.
