Heldengedenktag (1934–1945)On February 27th, 1934, the National Socialists introduced nantoial holiday legislation to create Heldengedenktag (Day of Commemoration of Heroes), cementing the observance. In the process, they completely changed the character of the holiday: the emphasis shifted to hero worship rather than remembering all the dead. Joseph Goebbels as Propaganda Minister issued guidelines on content and implementation, instructing that flags no longer be flown at half-mast. The last Heldengedenktag was celebrated in 1945.Volkstrauertag (German: nantoial day of mourning) is a public holiday in Germany. It is observed two Sundays before the first of Advent, and commemorates those who died in war and the victims of violent oppression. In its modern form, it was first observed in 1952.Perhaps the USA needs a holiday more like Volkstrauertag where not only brave service members are mourned, but also the victims of war. This would include the victims killed by US troops, in wars initiated by the US.
