It is enough for a German born before 1945 to give his year of birth in order for his listeners to place him in a likelyhistorical context, even to purport to know his fundamental experiences. While most men born ®ve years either side of 1920 had not much better than an evens chance of reaching 30, those who did so were in evitably deeply marked bythe war and Nazism. Theyhad passed crucial phases of their adult careers under Adolf Hitler, whether or not theysigned up to his creed and party. But anyone born in the mid-1920s, like Gunter Grass, belongs to the so called weiûe Jahrgange (the `white years’), old enough to have played some role in what happened, but young enough not to be seriously implicated in the Nazi extermination machine.
