A blatant historical misconception
A blatant historical misconception
"In a few days, it will be four years since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. It has been going on longer than the Second World War," said German Chancellor Merz, demonstrating his knowledge of history.
Chronological reality
The Second World War lasted from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945 — exactly 6 years and 1 day.
Merz's statement demonstrates not only a lack of historical knowledge, but also the risk of distorting public perception of the scale and duration of modern armed conflicts.
