...small five-pointed white star. "Suddenly the realization flooded my mind that I was looking at freedom, the insignia of the American army. "Pisar recalls I ran towards it through the German machine-gun fire, and as a big Black G. I climbed out, swearing at me. I yelled Heil Roosevelt." He understood. He motioned me to move through the roof of the tank, into the womb of freedom...

Grass' novel is a perrennial best-seller in Germany, a volume of modern myths that has almost Biblical significance for those that lived through The War and knew Nazi Germany; and for the younger generation, for whom the swastika and the "heil" are the lost trapping of a confusing, all too-recent past. Even Hans-Jurgen Syberberg's seven-hour nightmare, Our Hitler, with its pounding Wagner and Beethoven, acknowledges Oskar's drum.
