Germany must be a country which generates political ideas and leadership, which is capable of compromise, which is sovereign and yet knows that it needs its partners on both sides of the Atlantic.
Germany's fate is decided first and foremost in Europe. Reconciliation and cooperation in Europe have brought us freedom, peace and prosperity. Who would have dared to believe so much 50 years ago?
I'm in the booth and first of all, I'm from Germany and I had never heard a gospel in my life.
Well, I was going to school in Germany. And in my free time I was dancing.
And then '74 as I mentioned and then the 1990 world cup was our team was the team of the reunification you know, so we were the team for both sides of Germany so now, you know throughout the last 16 years, we've melted together. And now comes the next milestone.
I'm very surprised at that, yes, because there were many chances for it to be in Germany once the syndication market started and it continually just did not happen.
Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
If the military might of Germany and Japan are ultimately to be crushed, the United Nations, one and all, must definitely and urgently strive toward a total war effort.
When, at the end of the 1960s, I became interested in the Nazi era, it was a taboo subject in Germany. No one spoke about it anymore, no more in my house than anywhere else.
Some have said it is the easiest group at the World Cup, but we realize it won't be like that. Germany are a tremendous side, but to be honest I don't know much about Cameroon and Saudi Arabia.
A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters.
You know, North Korea situation is far worse than East Germany, and South Korea is weaker than West Germany.
My most profound confidence is however based upon the fact that at the head of Germany there stands a man by his entire development, his desires, and striving can only have been destined by fate to lead our people into a brighter future.
My greetings to you, my Germany.
It is not only that Germany has been defeated in the war, Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany was defeated.
