Not a problem i am happy to correct the quote

All nations have a cross to bear, and none more so than Germany with its memories of Nazism. But the British cross is more insidious still. A misplaced sense of superiority, sustained by delusions of grandeur and a tenacious obsession with the last war is much harder to shake off. I wish Mr Puhle and Mr Sawartzki well. We need to be put back in our place.

So how does he intend to do that ?????

Is that a better quote for you, btw the corrections are in red

If he wants to play with the big kids, He needs to act like one of them. He has moved out of the junior section of politics and into the senior section and the crap throwing that it brings with it. If he cannot handle this what would he be like when we need him to support us in negotiations with other countries and we all know how nasty that can get..
