Yeah, sorry, I couldnt find a non google translation, german gaffes dont get much coverage in english media, go figure. The headline was probably clear enough.
As for the guilt complex, it's likely not to be as pervasive as fragony thinks, but it is hard to imagine this happening without at least this guy feeling some of it.
Even if it is primarily greed related it's weird his mind went to such a self disparaging place when coming up with excuses. I mean I dont think even the Red Army propaganda would think you guys being inbred because of your population size was a plausable enough lie to run with... Though now that I think about it, it might have gone over pretty convincingly considering the nazi genetic ideal was based off recessive genes.
