Just as I see it. And: Also as I experience it.
'Cause that info about German history which doesn't match the official mantra "all are happy with how everything developed", that's often pretty unknown to foreigners.
But, I don't know if you can guess it, if you tell it to them, rather you harvest an accuse to yourself "Did you assist in this too?!" instead of an "oh, I didn't know about that!".
Don't know if it's my appearance, because I speak English pretty well and don't immediately sound like a foreigner myself so that I could know it through that circumstance (other sources available through different linguistic skills), but that's how I previously experienced things.
