Hi Joe,

I would say that Germans are still much more aware about WW I then we might think. O fcourse younger generations their knowledge isn't very large on the subject anymore.
I did get meanwhile a number of private reactions on th subject from Germany, and it really looks like it as that the provincial government in West Flanders isn't doing anything about it to make Germans see what they can visit overhere from that period. Everything is about the British units, even the Belgians and French have been forgotten.
It's possible to change this and I think I will do try to do something about it over here. Before everyone forgets. It's the same with tourists everywhere in the world. If they don't know what you're offering, why should they even bother to pay you a visit ?

So the importance of the war on the things you mentioned have also been forgotten in most of the cases.

Best from Johan
