Albanian commentary criticizes German owner's wartime loyalty question

Albanian writer Baton Haxhiu rebuts a story told by Albin Kurt, in which a German employer allegedly asked an Albanian worker where he would go if Russia attacked Germany. Haxhiu argues the anecdote is absurd and reflects a misunderstanding of German civic responsibility.

He references his long‑time friend Axel Dittmann, a German who has lived in Kosovo, to illustrate a more measured view of German patriotism, emphasizing duty over fear. The piece critiques the moral framing of the original tale and questions the relevance of such hypothetical questions to genuine national solidarity.
