...most positive response so far to Brandt's overtures has come from the country that suffered most under Nazi occupation: Poland. The Polish press, which normally rails at West Germany as a haven of unregenerated Nazis, called Brandt's inaugural address a "step forward." The Polish trade mission to West Germany has also started bargaining for an economic agreement that goes far beyond any deal previously negotiated by an East Bloc nation with the West.

Then they would tell an unfortunate protestor to move-an absurd request because the seated crowd was packed knee to knee. When he didn't move, they clubbed him and anyone who tried to hold onto him. Many of the demonstrators pleaded with the soldiers to drag people out instead of clubbing...
