	Wenn schon der junge Grass, das angehende Genie, der spätere Nobelpreisträger "verführt" wurde, wie hätten da erst alle anderen das Dritte Reich in seiner Grausamkeit durchschauen sollen? Sich gar verweigern? Der Gipfel dieser Entschuldungstaktik ist die Anekdote über den Kriegsgefangenen Joseph, mit dem Grass sich anfreundete und von dem er uns glauben machen will, es sei Ratzinger gewesen. [G]	If even the young Grass, the future genius, the later Nobel laureate, was "seduced", how should anyone else then have seen through the Third Reich and its cruelties? Or even offer resistance? The height of this apologetics is the anecdote about the prisoner-of-war Joseph with whom Grass became friends and who he would like us to believe was Ratzinger.
