Untitled[edit]

Augstein at the end of his life proudly stated to be a cynic; on his death bed he refused even to consider an afterlife with the words: "I only believe in what I know." He was tough on facts but careless with their proper interpretation. Is the last sentence refering to Augstein's view on religion and the afterlife? There is nothing else in the article that would support this statement and given the context it seems that it is more reflective of the author's personal opinion than an objective statement.

Can somebody confirm this :[edit]

I heard that as a young man he wrote for some Nazi paper. Is it true ? --Molobo 17:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Slight change[edit]

I changed the description of 'Hitler's Wehrmacht' to 'the German Wehrmacht'. Sounds more appropriate. Had he been in the SS, then the Hitler reference would have been OK, but most of the German Wehrmacht was still, in many ways, very traditionalist (from the Kaiser's time, etc.).
