BOOMING GERMANY'S `LOST GENERATION'

One Woman's Indictment of Her Race GUDRUN TEMPEL is a German. She is 35 and grew up during the Nazis' rise to power and their bloody defeat. Her parents were of the professional, middle class and—like many in their social bracket—they supported Hitler during his early days. Nazism then, says Miss Tempel, " was a surge of lunacy that gripped everyone. . . . My parents would never have invited Hitler or his cronies to lunch because he would have bored them with his semi-education and lack of wit. . . ." Today many Germans of Miss Tempel's generation hold positions of authority in Germany—and here's what she says of them : ". . . The forceful and intellectually superior people in Germany shun politics because they feel there is something missing that they can find in Krupps or Siemens or Mercedes. . . ." This assessment — and much of it is an indictment—of the Germans by a German is written with devastating insight and almost cruel candour. And it appears exclusively in THE SUNDAY TIMES this Sunday.
