Many of them insist that Hitler accomplished some good-reviving the economy, building national self-esteem and cracking class barriers-but they concede that his achievements were more than canceled out by the demonic evils of Nazism. But many of those over 50, who remember the humiliation after World War I and the chaos of the Weimar Republic, maintain that Hitler's positive accomplishments outweigh the negative.

The right-wing National Democrats of Adolf ("Bubi") von Thadden might have won 5% of the national vote and thereby earned the right to sit in the Bundestag (parliament); in that case, fears of renascent Nazism would have chilled much of the world. As it turned out, the National Democrats were able to draw only 4.3%. Far from becoming a black mark against West Germany's name, the election turned into what could well prove a historic turning point...
