As a man whose property was seized and who was condemned in absentia by

Hitler for his first book, Prince Hubertus has standing to speak of Hitler as an aberration in German history. Still, as WFB reminds him and us, as soon as Germany was united, in 1870, it began starting wars. Prince Hubertus: "I wouldn't be alive today if it hadn't been for the Quaker breakfasts which we received after the First World War. [Then] after the Second World War--" Mr. Livingston: "The present chancellor, Mr. Kohl, will be the last German chancellor who will have a living memory of this.... He remembers and refers often in his speeches to the CARE packages and the Marshall Plan aid that he as a young boy received, but his successor will not have the same memories, and I think this is going to be a significant generational change."
