...packed, floodlit Bundestag hall, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer delivered a keynote speech listing Germany's major concerns: the P.W.s held by Russia, the Oder-Neisse boundary deal which ceded a large part of Eastern Germany to Poland, the dismantling of German plants. He also touched on the sore spot of denazification. "The truly guilty," he said, "must be severely punished, but beyond that we can no longer have two classes of people in Germany-the politically reliable and the politically unreliable...
