Germans shun Churchill barracks plan

By
Andrew Gimson in Berlin

A SUGGESTION to rename a German army barracks after Winston
Churchill was welcomed yesterday by
British war veterans but condemned by many
Germans. Germany’s [Socialist]
defence minister, Rudolf Scharping, wants a review of all barracks named after soldiers from the Wehrmacht – the wartime army – and has said he would in future prefer to name barracks after foreigners who helped Germany into the Western alliance after the war.

Mr Scharping said: “We are rightly proud that Winston Churchill in 1946 in
Zurich spoke of the United States of
Europe and did not exclude Germany from it.”

But the Frankfurter Allgemeine
newspaper yesterday advised Mr Scharping
“not to start with Dresden” when he looked round for a barracks to name after
Churchill – a reference to the devastating air raid on the city by British and American bombers in 1945.

The former Bundeswehr General
Günter Kiessing said
Churchill’s record was “tragically inseparable from his responsibility for fatal mistakes, ranging from . . . Dresden to the expulsion of Germans from their eastern territories”.

PROOF OF the Charakterschweine that
German politicians have become.
