The Germans never can get over that despite their superiority to feeble, stupid, undisciplined classless Americans we kicked their ass in WWII.
Der Spiegel is a rag and the people working there hate us. Fuck them all.

Update: Relotius not only invented "Syrian Kids" who probably don't exist, but he directed donations to his own bank account. Has been referred for criminal prosecution to German Authorities.
The Germans were defeated by the Red Army in WWII. I hate the whole concept of the Soviets, but let us give them their due. The Germans were defeated by a Soviet army that after a major retreat, took three years on a holding position, then counter attacked with 360 divisions including 105,000 T-34 tanks. (the Germans used 190 divisions in their initial invasion of Russia). The US defeated Japan, but were really only a bit player in Europe compare to the Eastern Front.

Also, German industrial centers were reduced to rubble by British and American bombing.
This lend/lease only amounted to about 2% of the Soviet war material.
Only the massive firebombing of cities really did any serious national-level industrial damage, along with the civilian population being incinerated.
Soviet industrial centers were lost altogether. Those T-34 tanks I mentioned were built in open air factories.
About 8,000 armored vehicles arriving in 1941 made a huge difference at a critical moment.
It says something that the British, who themselves had very few tanks after Dunkirk, gave these to the Soviets.
Admitted 14 of 60 articles were entirely fictional, including his most famous piece about Refugee Syrians.
Busted when a colleague checked his sources about the US-Mexican Border Refugee Crisis after months of suspicion.
