Is Germany trying to steal fire from the "God"?

I have talked to my grandson about things that fascinate him and he told me a story that makes me think of what is happening. The story is of a man named Prometheus. The story tells of a man named Prometheus, who was the son of a Titan. He was not anymore or less equal to the Gods that ruled over the mountains. His job on the mountain of Olympus was to watch the humans of Earth below their kingdom. Whenever he looked down upon Earth, he saw that Earth was a horrid place. It was cold, and he saw people living in caves and in the holes of the Earth. They were dying of starvation and sickness, all this because they were missing the one thing they needed most, fire. One day Prometheus went up to the thrones of the Mighty Ones and asked Jupiter if he would give the humans fire so they could live with pride. Jupiter denied because he was scared that the people, if given fire, would recieve pride and power and that they might one day come to rule over the Mighty Ones. So, Prometheus decided to take a plant and go to the sun to get fire. Prometheus succeed and he got the humans fire. Jupiter saw the humans with fire, and got so angry he ordered Prometheus to be chained to the side of a mountain for eternity. The eagles and birds would come down and eat Prometheus' insides for the rest of his life. When Alexandre told me this story I thought of the war that is happening. Germany resembles Prometheus and Hitler resembles Jupiter. Germany saw that the people of Germany were in dark times and they needed help. So they went and found their ruler and asked him so guidance to making themsleves better. Hitler thought that if he gave Jews power and strength, they would someday try to take him down. So he ordered them to be killed. Hitler did something so stupid that he did not see right in front of his face. He was taking himself down. He did such stupid things and made his country look even worse then before, so now Germany is a mockery of Europe. Prométhée qu'avez-vous fait. Allemagne qu'avez-vous fait. Vive la Résistance. Vive la France. Vive l'Amérique.
