Worry is widespread in both Bonn and East Berlin that East Germans' mounting anger at the Communist regime, coupled with emotional longings for "one German * fatherland," could result in violent demonstrations that would paralyze the government.

He postulated that West Germany still suffers from an identity crisis, a "unidimensional" sense of itself as merely an industrial rather than a political power. The result, he said, was a kind of "German economic arrogance"; if, in the process of reunification, Germany could attain a "more diverse identity," that arrogance might fade. His advice to the West: "Nothing is more dangerous than to say to Germans today 'We fear you.' If we do that, we will create a Germany according to that...
