Don’t mention the war!

The Department of Culture & Sport wants to commemorate the whole of World War I without upsetting the Germans. So no mention of who started it, who introduced poison gas to the trenches and who dropped bombs on civilians from Zeppelins, and who was beaten to a standstill in 1918. The DCS would have us believe that a war started for no apparent reason in 1914, millions of people died mysteriously over the next 4 and a bit years, and then it all just stopped in 1918 and everyone became pals again.
