(4) A second aim of such discussions would be the normalization of the internal life of Berlin, which is also a quadripartite responsibil- ity. The United States would welcome consideration of how movement of persons, postal and telephonic communications and commerce be- tween the western and eastern sectors of the city could be restored. (5) A further aim of quadripartite discussions would be the elim- ination of problems arising from discriminatory treatment of the econ- omy of the western sectors of Berlin. (6) The United States welcomes the initiation of talks between the two German sides on transport and postal matters. It hopes that such talks will soon lead to positive results, that they can be expanded to include additional subjects, and that the USSR will be prepared to en- courage them. (7) The United States proposes that the Four Powers responsible for Berlin and Germany as a whole authorize representatives of their Missions in Berlin to meet in that city at an early date, to be agreed on among them, to discuss these topics and other topics which the Soviet Union might wish to raise. It proposes that agreement on an agenda and arrangements for further meetings be reached at the first session of the talks. End text. Rush 48. Memorandum From the President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs (Kissinger) to President Nixon1 Washington, January 22, 1970. SUBJECT Dobrynin’s Démarche on Berlin Dobrynin came to see me on January 20 to protest the convening in Berlin, later this month, of committees of the West German parliament 1 Source: National Archives, Nixon Presidential Materials, NSC Files, Box 711, Country Files, Europe, USSR, Vol. VI. Secret; Nodis; Sensitive. Sent for action. Although no drafting information appears on the memorandum, much of the text also appears in an attached January 21 memorandum from Sonnenfeldt to Kissinger. 1325_A8-A14.qxd 12/3/07 10:01 AM Page 134 134 Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, Volume XL (Bundestag).2 The Germans have done this periodically to demonstrate their continued role in the city. The Soviets have protested to the Ger- mans and the Allies for several years and on several occasions staged harassments on the Autobahn and with low-flying aircraft. An official Soviet protest was delivered in Bonn some days ago. Dobrynin’s statement to me (text at Tab A) is perhaps the most toughly worded one to us since the Administration came in. Although it falls well short of threatening specific counter-actions, it seeks to put on us the onus for any renewed tensions the Soviets and/or East Germans may generate. The Soviets may in fact feel that their prestige is sufficiently challenged to make some move, though even with Ulbricht straining at the leash, it is not likely such such a move would be a major one. The démarche also seeks to make some capital of the fact that in previous contacts, and especially in your correspondence with Kosy- gin last spring, we proposed and they agreed to quiet bilateral ex- changes of view on Berlin. We decided at the time not to follow up be- cause there appeared to be nothing worth talking about and because the German election was impending. The matter was then overtaken by the joint Western proposal to open talks last summer which is still in play. There can be little doubt that if Berlin negotiations should even- tuate the Soviets will insist on a curbing of FRG activities in the city as part of any deal. The FRG will also have to face this issue in its own bilateral dealings with the Soviets and the GDR; this is already clear from the initial exchanges. You will recall that last year at the time of the Bundesversammlung the Germans were prepared to consider some sort of deal in this area if it involved some improvement in civilian ac- cess and in movement through the Wall. The subject may well prove 2 The two men met at Dobrynin’s request to discuss “an urgent set of matters.” A memorandum records the conversation on Berlin as follows: “Dobrynin then turned the conversation to West Berlin and handed me some talking points about the situation in West Berlin which he considered extremely grave and provocative. The note itself was very tough (it is attached to a separate memorandum). I told Dobrynin that any unilat- eral action in or around Berlin would have the gravest consequences. I would study the talking points and if I had any reply to give, I would make it. However, I saw no sense in our discussing Europe if there were even the prospect of a unilateral Soviet action in Berlin. Dobrynin said that the Soviet Union did not make much fuss last year when the German President was elected in Berlin, but now, in effect, the whole German Parlia- ment was meeting in Berlin again in the guise of various committees, and this could not continue. Dobrynin parted with the understanding that he would call me when he was ready to discuss European matters.” (Ibid.) For the full text of the memorandum of con- versation, see Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, vol. XII, Document 118. In a January 22 mem- orandum to Rogers, Kissinger reported that he had listened to “Dobrynin’s Démarche” but “made no comment.” (National Archives, RG 59, Central Files 1967–69, POL 28 GER B) In his published account of the meeting, Kissinger remarked: “Significantly, the note was passed in the Presidential Channel where it would receive no publicity; Moscow, obviously, did not want a crisis in Central Europe.” (White House Years, p. 524) 1325_A8-A14.qxd 12/3/07 10:01 AM Page 135 Germany and Berlin, 1969–1972 135 controversial in German domestic politics and for this reason we should not permit the Soviets to pressure us into active involvement in it. If you approve, I would propose to make a response to Dobrynin when I see him in some other connection along the following lines: 1. You have noted the Soviet statement on Berlin. 2. You cannot agree that the German actions referred to contradict past US-Soviet exchanges regarding Berlin. 3. We have no desire to have any tension over Berlin and hope this is also true of the Soviets since any crisis in that area would have an adverse effect on our relations. 4. We continue to be prepared to seek genuine improvements in the situation in Berlin and for this reason have joined with our Allies in proposing talks on the subject. Recommendation: That you approve my making the above four points to Dobrynin at some suitable occasion when I am seeing him for other reasons.3 Tab A Note From the Soviet Ambassador (Dobrynin) The authorities of the FRG have officially announced their inten- tion to hold sessions of the Bundestag committees as well as meetings of the factions and other parliamentary organs of the Federal Republic in West Berlin in the next few weeks. Moreover provocative nature of such a venture not only is unconcealed but rather is openly displayed— an attempt again to use West Berlin to aggravate international situation. The Soviet Government has drawn the attention of the Government of the FRG to serious consequences which this course of action by Bonn in West Berlin affairs may have. The question of West Berlin has also been touched upon in the recent conversations of the USSR Ambassador in the GDR with the US Ambassador in the FRG and, therefore, the American side must be aware of our views on this matter. The state of West Berlin affairs was already discussed in my con- versations with you, Mr. Kissinger, in February and March last year. At that time it was noted on the American side that it was necessary to avoid repeating what had occurred around West Berlin in connec- tion with holding presidential elections there. It was also noted that events there should not make Soviet-American relations feverish and that third countries should not be allowed to make crises in West Berlin 3 The President initialed the approve option. 1325_A8-A14.qxd 12/3/07 10:01 AM Page 136 136 Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, Volume XL from time to time. This viewpoint has been taken into account by us in our final consideration of practical steps to be taken with regard to West German provocations. On the basis of the known facts we cannot come to the conclusion that the American side has reciprocated. Without getting now into the matter of Soviet-American exchange of views on the West Berlin ques- tion which for reasons, better known to you, Mr. Kissinger, did not ma- terialize, we cannot but point out, however, the obvious discrepancy between the political evaluations and practical measures by the US Ad- ministration, in the question of West Berlin as well. The line of the FRG in West Berlin matters has been and contin- ues to be incompatible with the status of West Berlin. The special sta- tus of West Berlin as an entity existing separately from the Federal Re- public and not subject to its jurisdiction is an objective fact which has found its reflection in US official documents as well. This is the only ground for mutual understanding between our powers in this matter.

Nicholas Ziegler Revised October 1997 WP# 3880 Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, E52-581 Cambridge, MA 02142-1347 tel. 617-253-3698 fax 617-253-2660 [email protected] The privatization of public service companies offers an excellent case for assessing pressures for institutional convergence versus the staying power of distinctive national economic institutions in the advanced industrial countries. This paper examines the privatization of Lufthansa and Deutsche Telekom in order to see whether changes in enterprise ownership reflect a process of convergence in the rules of coiporate governance. While the outward form of privatization in Germany looks quite similar to privatization in Britain and the United States, these two cases show little evidence that the change in ownership is driving any formal changes in corporate governance. If anything, German financial institutions and trade unions continue to exercise distinctive roles that rest on their historical positions in the German economy.

In October 1969, Bonn’s Christian Democrat-led “grand coalition” was replaced by an alliance of Social Democrats (SPD) and Free Democrats (FDP) led by Chancellor Willy Brandt that held a sixteen-seat majority in the West German parliament. Not only were the leaders of the CDU caught by surprise, but so, too, were many in the U.S. government. Presi- dent Richard Nixon had to take back the premature message of congratu- lations extended to Chancellor Kiesinger early on election night. “The worst tragedy,” Henry Kissinger concluded on June 16, 1971, in a con- versation with Nixon, “is that election in ’69. If this National Party, that extreme right wing party, had got three-tenths of one percent more, the Christian Democrats would be in office now.”1 American administrations and their embassy in Bonn had cultivated a close relationship with the leaders of the governing CDU/CSU for many years.

    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • 1 Introduction
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. What belongs together will now grow together (JK). 2. The well-known statement from Brandt is often wrongly attributed to the speech he gave one day after the fall of the Berlin Wall at the West Berlin City Hall, Rathaus Schöneberg. This error is understandable since it was added later to the publicized version of the speech with the consent of Brandt himself (Rother, 2001, p. 43). By that time it was already a well known phrase since it featured prominently on a SPD poster with a picture of Brandt in front of the partying masses at the Berlin Wall. The original statement was made by Brandt during a radio interview on 10 November for SFP-Mittagecho where he stated: ‘Jetzt sind wir in einer Situation, in der wieder zusammenwächst, was zusammengehört’ (‘Now we are in a situation in which again will grow together what belongs together’). 3. The Treaty of Prague with Czechoslovakia, signed 11 December 1973, finalized the Eastern Treaties. 4. By doing this, I aim to contribute to both theory formation concerning inter- national politics and foreign policy and add to the historiography of the German question and reunification policy. Not only is it important to com- pare theoretical assumptions against empirical data, by making the theoretical assumptions that guide the historical research explicit, other scholars are enabled to better judge the quality of the research. In the words of King et al. (1994, p. 8): ‘If the method and logic of a researcher’s observations and infer- ences are left implicit, the scholarly community has no way of judging the validity of what was done.’ This does not mean that the historical research itself only serves theory formation.

It's being conducted on the 18th of February, 1997. I am Raymond Ewing. John, you entered the Foreign Service, I see, in about 1971. You were born in Alabama and went to the military academy at West Point. Tell me, with that beginning how you wound up in the Foreign Service. Is that something that you were headed for right along or did this develop at a later stage? NIX: Both developed during my years in the Army. As you mentioned, I graduated from West Point in 1960. I immediately went off to serve in Germany, in Berlin. I happened, by coincidence, to be there at the time the Berlin Wall went up. Then I came back to the United States and went off to Vietnam. In the meantime, I got married and had a little boy. The experience of leaving him behind when he was one year old and not seeing him again until he was two years old made a deep impression on me. So, I started thinking seriously about getting out of the Army. I investigated opportunities with the U.S. government and decided that the Foreign Service would be a good way to continue my public service career as well as something that I thought I was well suited for.
