"Germany about colonialism" would be a better fit.

Also the german sentiment about WW2 is something that survivors for ever, students in the 60s/70s and antifascists right now fought for / are fighting for. Considering we have parts of the country that vote 30%+ for members of a nazi party the sentiment could shift really fast and atleast from my perspective considerably shifted already

"Denazification" would be another solid choice. For example, the post-war career of Hans Martin Schleyer

Colonialism is not a controversial topic and covered in school books

covered in school books

Thats not really my standard. I would like Germany to actually do stuff like returning stolen cultural goods and paying reperations instead of dodging responsibilty
