Actually they don't. I mean, of course, relatives are happy, if their sons and nephews come home, but there are no partys or other special ways of welcoming them.

In Germany, being a soldier has nothing to do with glory. If anybody says "I figt for my home country, I fight for Germany", people will just turn away. Or they get scared, because this still reminds of the gloryfying of war by the Nazis. And we are very serious about that.

That's why people, who celebrate the returning of a soldier - from a German's point of view - celebrate the war. It's just all about the past. And for us that's nothing to be proud of...

So Germans will not welcome home soldiers in public. Maybe the dead ones, but still, people think it's a grotesque way of celebrating war or an "heroic death" and would just avoid you in public and personally.
