This is a low value comment. You should at least state why you think referencing WWII is irrelevant. I think it is completely relevant in a discussion about a historical trait of the German people. Just posting a link to Godwin's law doesn't contribute anything and makes this thread more likely to spin out of control.
It is a low effort comment, not necessarily a low value one. It summarizes people's response to it well.
Every aspect of German culture can be linked to WW2 without much effort and has been for decades. Here is a humorous look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfFxoyxQAh4 instead of a sarcastic wikipedia link.
I do understand where you are coming from but sometimes you just have to let it go, as most others have done. WW2 ended in Germany over 75 years ago, people don't want to be reminded of it underneath a fun travel blog.
