The rioting Germans in 1946 stories now circulating the web are about as relevant as Sparticus is to NAFTA. From a lady who says she went to Munich High School Army Dependent School class of 1949:

.....Nobody paid any attention. The Germans were starving, they lost the war, and deserved all the bad that could happen to them. The Army had jeeps with 50 cal. machine guns mounted on the back and would not have hesitated a second had the Krauts done anything. We were in charge. We had nothing to fear from anybody. We had the bomb and the Russians didn't. Most U.S. officers had lost their best friends in combat and hated the Germans anyway. My dad wanted their blood. Nobody really cared about what the Krauts thought about anything because we regarded all of them as Nazis. All you had to do was look at the news reels of millions of Germans Zieg Heiling to know it. Nothing in Iraq remotely resembles Germany in 1946.

There is more but you can tell that the lady was there. The continuing effort to equate "now" with "then" is absurd. Letter includes story about high school basketball and football rivalries just like the states; their big rivals were Frankfurt and Berlin.
