Von Rundstedt,

I understand your German friends concerns where world opinion is concerned. We in the South are hung with a similar yoke where slavery is concerned. Just because some of my ancestors may have owned another human, it is assumed by certain segments of society that I would like to do the same.

I in no way hold any current day German responsible for what happened 60 years ago. I also understand that the sins of the father are visited on his children and this may be the way it is for them. Still doesn't make it right.

As for what you say about the Stalinist deaths, numbers are of less importance. One death is too many.
