I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.
Germany has a deep respect for the Hart family, especially Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart.
Hitler had a police state of the first order. And those who showed any sign of being weak-kneed faced prison or often summary execution. That prevented a lot of people who knew that the war was not going to turn out well for Germany from giving up.
Mr. Chamberlain desires to avert the threat to England’s peace by making England, in alliance with Germany, stronger than her rivals and so to force them to renounce their hostile intentions against her.
Despite repeated calls for reform from nations like the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, the court has become an ineffective, unaccountable and politically motivated bureaucracy. There are serious concerns about corruption and misconduct at the highest levels of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor.
The country that consistently ranks among the highest in educational achievement is Finland. A rich country, but education is free. Germany, education is free. France, education is free.
Nobody was keeping me away from black people. There just aren’t many in Germany. Without anything to identify with, you grow up thinking maybe you’re different and maybe not as good as everybody else.
Provision was also made for the distribution of Germany’s foreign assets among the Allies.
In Germany, it is normal, when games end, you shake hands with your players.
I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory.
I’ve lived in Liverpool, London, Belfast, Germany, Coventry, Dorset, and Cyprus.
It’s surreal. Here I was, a bhangra champion who had performed at an Indian festival in the U.K. and Germany, a television theatre actor who barely made Rs 1,000 a day working like a donkey all year round.
When I played in Germany there was also a good atmosphere in the games but this is better at Celtic.
I would like people to get a differentiated historical view of Germany.
When I do my own wardrobe, I try to wear a designer from each of the countries I’m visiting: Tom Ford for New York, Hugo Boss for Germany, Burberry for England.
I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.
In Germany, you can play aggressively, but the referee will always blow his whistle, but in England, that’s not the case. That’s better for me.
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
Back home in Germany, football people think very highly of Arsene Wenger. They listen to what he has to say and admire his achievements.
I recall us selling out L.A.’s 5,000-capacity Gibson Amphitheatre and flying straight to Germany to play a 300-capacity room where we’d only sold 120 tickets. This was when ‘City Of Evil’ was really taking off in the U.S., but it seemed like Europe was less interested.
After the war, Germany fully confessed to all its dirty tricks. It’s necessary to is draw a line under the past, even if people did something evil. Until we do, wounds won’t heal.
I grew up mostly in Germany, but my favorite summer trip was driving from North Carolina to Texas in a camper with my parents and us six kids.
Europe in general is a great place for me, but specifically Germany has been very good to me. Germans love classical music… Electronic dance music is massive over there, so I’m kind of the marriage between the two.
I did a few TV shows in Germany, lots of media.
I enjoyed six marvellous years at Bayern winning many titles, but the fact is I don’t plan on playing in Germany ever again.
There is a lot that binds Germany to Turkey, and even if we have a difference of opinion on an individual matter, the breadth of our links, our friendship, our strategic ties, is great.
I was fascinated by the story of FW Murnau, one of the most famous directors in Germany, where I come from.
My father served as an Army doctor in West Germany in the late ’50s and early ’60s. As a result, he and my mother – both native southerners – were acutely aware of what had happened during the Holocaust.
Following its peaceful reunifica’tion in 1990, Germany was on track to become an economic giant that had little in the way of foreign policy.
I dream of winning the Champions League title with Manchester City and a title with Germany.
The Franco-German tandem at the core of post-war European integration has become lopsided. Relations between Berlin and Paris are unusually poor, with some French politicians decrying the ‘selfish intransigence’ in the euro crisis of Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel.
I’m in the booth and first of all, I’m from Germany and I had never heard a gospel in my life.
My passion is from my mom. She was passionate about leaving Germany and coming to America and making a life for her and her family. My father – discipline, a chain of command, it works this way.
When I was a kid, we all knew who Niki Lauda was. He was a hero, a living legend in Germany. Everybody knows him.
I am grateful to God for that because people can still identify me with something in Germany.
I went away in Germany and I think I did well. But the main goal for me has always been playing in an Arsenal shirt week in, week out.
I’ve experienced first-hand how the system is in Germany. I’ve seen how well-developed and professional they are, even at a young age. I learned and grew so much as an individual there.
How rich our German life is compared to France or England: what an abundance of social types and customs with completely different origins… Germany is a world, whereas England and France, with their stereotypically divided three social classes, are but enlarged villages… what a stage for a Balzac.
I was in the underground until I left Germany.
Workers of France, it is for the freedom of the prisoners that you will go to work in Germany! It is for our country that you will go in large numbers!
It is always the case that when something emerges – which, of course, from the perspective of the former West Germany looks very different – then people say, ‘She hasn’t told us this yet’ and ‘She hasn’t told us that yet.’ I don’t know – maybe there are other things I didn’t talk about because no one ever asked me.
The thing is, Stoke City pulled me out of a situation where I was not playing, where I was not happy, and that was in Germany. They have breathed new life into me.
I have come to Germany to learn at first hand the problems involved in the reconstruction of Germany and to discuss with our representatives the views of the United States Government as to some of the problems confronting us.
I did a lot of films in Europe, in Spain. I went to Australia and did ‘Mad Dog Morgan’; I did ‘Apocalypse Now’ in the Philippines; I did Wim Wenders’ film ‘The American Friend’ in Germany.
The Spanish league has better individual players than the German league. However, in Germany, there are more teams that are uncomfortable to play against because they are more aggressive than teams in Spain.
My first time in Germany. We started off in Heidelberg, which is this quaint, nice town. The Germans, they shoot just like the Americans, except for, if it’s a 10-hour day, they’re leaving at 5. You don’t go to 5:30, 6, 7. No. And then we had a fest for everything.
Every country wants to protect its athletes because it’s ultimately Germany vs. Spain, America vs. China; sports are an extension of the government because of national pride.
Bad guys don’t think they’re bad guys. Hitler probably thought he was a wonderful guy doing some wonderful and righteous work for Germany.
I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.
I like to watch the top teams in different countries, like Spain or Bayern Munich in Germany. The rest I don’t watch. I have nothing to do with that. I’m not a freak. I know guys who watch every game. I’m not like that.
I learnt a lot in Germany, and the German mentality really helped me. It was an enormous step in my life.
My mother’s proud of where she’s from, and her history, and her past, and same with my dad. I have roots in Africa. Like, I am from Africa as well as from Germany, and I am very proud of that.
If you’re based in two places, on a bad day you see only the disadvantages everywhere. On a bad day, returning to Germany brings back all kinds of spectres from the past.
Important as economic unification is for the recovery of Germany and of Europe, the German people must recognize that the basic cause of their suffering and distress is the war which the Nazi dictatorship brought upon the world.
The earliest recollection I have of being in the kitchen and cooking was in the third grade, and we lived in Germany. And I remember cooking scrambled eggs.
After the turmoil of the Second World War, my family ended up in Russian-occupied East Germany. When I attended fourth grade, I had to learn Russian as my first foreign language in school. I found this quite difficult because of the Cyrillic alphabet, but as time went on, I seemed to do all right.
