Public opinion changed dramaticly on this subject in Germany. *Ten, or even five years ago* it would not have been possible for Kohl to speak of the eights of May as day of liberation, but now this even seems to be the "official" line, with only a few right wingers dissenting. Of course this change of public opinion doesn't have anything to do with successful left wing counter-violence. It's rather a generational question and probably a kind of precondition for sitting at the table of the winners. Andreas Goesele Mannheimer Str. 12 D-80803 Muenchen
