there are more levels to 'national pride' than being ashamed/ proud.
maybe he was indifferent to being german? It may seem hard to comprehend, but some people just don't care where they are from "I can starve anywhere" (Brecht). So maybe, up to now, PvD did not care a lot for being german. Maybe someone should ask him about it.
What I'd be much more interested in: Does he think of himself as German or as European? |
