Er hat Unwahrheiten über seine Kameraden herumerzählt.

He slandered his comrades.

Inhalt ist eine reale Gewalttat: 2002 brachten drei Jugendliche im brandenburgischen Potzlow einen Kameraden nach Vorbild des Mordes im US-Film American History X um, nachdem sie ihn stundenlang gequält hatten. [G]

It deals with an act of violence that actually took place in real life - in 2002 three teenagers in the Brandenburg town of Potzlow killed one of their friends after they had tortured him for hour after hour; they had been inspired by the murder in the film American History X.

Man hätte hoffen können, daß Grass während seines demütigenden Bekenntnisses die Rolle des Moralapostels ablegen würde, für die er nur allzu bekannt ist: Ich denke dabei an die schockierend absurde Anekdote, mit der er unterstellt, daß er zum erstenmal mit direktem Rassismus konfrontiert gewesen sei, als er hörte, wie weiße amerikanische Soldaten ihre schwarzen Kameraden "Nigger" nannten. [G]

One could have hoped that Grass, in the course of his humiliating confession, would have dropped the role of moraliser for which he is all too well known: I am thinking of the shockingly absurd anecdote with which he suggests that the first time he was directly confronted by racism was when he heard an American soldier call his black comrade "nigger".

Mehrfach wird er, aber auch seine Ex-Freundin, von den ehemaligen Kameraden bedroht. [G]

He and his ex-girlfriend were often threatened by his former comrades.
