IMO Germany is the only country that owns up to it's mistakes so well. According to my German buddy, WWII is taught to children with great humility and with the overall message that Germany of 1932 comitted terrible crimes and that Germany of 2014 must never allow it to happen again. Germany openly acknowledges it's mistakes and learns from it. Something a lot of other countries don't do: we Belgians comitted monstruous crimes in Congo under King Leopold II, but we barely talk about it at school.
And for the record, we only use Belgian flags occasionaly on official events, not much else :-)
