This piece from Die Zeit leaves me profoundly uneasy. I don’t like to think of myself as elderly, but I do tremble a bit when German hegemony, “good” or otherwise, is contemplated.The reassurance that “Germany’s hands are bound” leaves me cold. Political paralysis and the existence of the constitutional court do not strike me as guarantees of future good behaviour. I believe that a considerable list of such ostensible safeguards went down one by one in the late 1920′s and 30′s.My line of thinking takes me back to a summer night in the late 1980′s, when, at a Wehrmacht garrison in southern Germany, I attended a “Grosser Zapfenstreich” put on to honour a departing Canadian General. The drums of the Wehrmacht’s Wachbattallion grew out of the distance to a compelling, shocking impact as they led in companies of torch-carrying, jack-booted, goose-stepping soldiers wearing field grey uniforms and coal-scuttle helmets. My hair stood on end.The view that Germany built the European structure and has been concealing its strength and employing a good deal of camouflage does not fill me with confidence.
