Can you explain why it's significant that michael roth is german? And explain it like I'm a baby brained high schooler? I don't understand the post otherwise, sorry!
Germany should not exist in it's place should be hundreds of princpipalities that made up the HRE or at least turn it into like 8 different countries.
In all seriousness there was at least one person that proposed that germany should be wiped from the map and others proposed stuff like turning it into 4 countries, like Morgenthau, but germany remained a somewhat 'sovereign state' even after everything Nazi Germany did while Palestine well....
It was an interesting plan. Let the German nation remain, but half of it gets annexed and the other half gets split into two. Prevent them from starting WW3 by destroying all their industry and starving a few million Germans. Demilitarization even stricter than Japan, but what we ended up was actually far more relaxed than Japan. Reparations in the form of a one-and-done transferring of industry out of Germany, instead of using Germany's high industrial output as a tax source to develop the world. Kind of dumb to be honest, but a little funny.
