That's a very difficult question. One of the main obstacles in the way of normalising the situation is the fog of lies that surround WWII and indeed the whole Third Reich period. Not only that, but the official version of WWII is enforced by law in many countries, especially Germany. You can go to prison in Germany and France for questioning the Nuremberg version of events, and Blair wants to introduce similar laws in Britain.
This is not hard to understand because the post-war world order claims its legitimacy on destroying evil, i.e. the Nazis. The enormous death and dstruction of WWII could only be justified - if at all - on the understanding that it was a crusade against evil. Now if it turns out that the Nazis weren't the very incarnation of evil after all, then the moral basis for the present world order disintegrates, especially when it becomes clear the role that the saintly allies played in brining that war about.
To get some perspective on this, compare the war against Germany with the war against Iraq. There are some very interesting parallels which we can discuss later, except to say at this point that it is clear to all that this war has been launched and fought on the basis of a complete tapestry of lies and premeditation.
