Peace for Germany is a brief video which describes recent efforts at reconciliation between Germans and Americans.

On October 31, 2011, retired US Army Major Merritt Drucker arranged for an international  meeting, held in Washington, in which he apologized for the maltreatment of German POW held by the Allies.

Former Bundeswehr officer, Colonel Max Klaar accepted the apology and presented a proposal for an official peace treaty, between Germany and the Allies.  No treaty has ever been signed to end that war, which therefore continues with the occupation of Germany by 100 US military bases. James Bacque introduced the latest edition of his book, Other Losses.

Witnessing  the ceremony with approval was a former Senior Historian of the United States Army Center for Military History Col. Dr. Ernest F. Fisher. Fisher had collaborated with Bacque in all the basic research for Bacque’s pioneering work and wrote the Foreword to Other Losses.
