Possibly, but once a country acts in such a barbaric way, it is very difficult to then ask for fairness from others. I knew a German guy who lived through it as a child, and he said that after the war, finding a dead dog to eat in the rubble was a real treat. He also mentioned trying to go back to work in Germany in the '60's as a dock worker, and said much of the Nazi mentality was still present. This is all hearsay, though he was not someone I would have doubted.
