I wonder if Merkels decisions are based in general post WWII German mentality of paying penance for the atrocities the Nazis committed.
They are not.
Merkel's decisions are whatever her handlers tell her they are, and they are their intentions are to destroy the blood and soil of Germany just like they are doing to the rest of the Western world.
Germany is as strong as it is today only because, for a few brief periods, it actively fought back against those intentions. Removed them from positions of influence and instead ran Germany for Germans.
