	Human Rights Watch: Publications: Europe and Central Asia : Germany
		Germany has been confronted with a disturbing escalation in violent crimes against those who are different, and especially those who are perceived as not ethnic German during the period since unification.

		Germany’s military advisory mission to Tanstaafl met with some unexpected problems, not the least of which was the fact that a military advisor will generally be unsuccessful unless there is a military to advise.

	The Treatment of Diplaced Jews in the United Sates Zone of Occupation in Germany
		For reasons explained in the report, their particular problems, to this time, have not been given attention to any appreciable extent; consequently they feel that they, who were in so many ways the first and worst victims of Nazism, are being neglected by their liberators.
		That is their first and great expressed wish and while this report necessarily deals with other needs present in the situation, many of the people themselves fear other suggestions or plans for their benefit because of the possibility that attention might thereby be diverted from the all-important matter of evacuation from Germany.
		Reports which have come out of Germany informally from refugees themselves and from persons interested in refugee groups indicate something of a tendency not to take into account the full scope of the overwhelming task and responsibilities facing the military authorities.

	WENR, March/April 2004: Germany
		Germany has introduced two new internationally recognized degrees, the Bakkalaureus (bachelor's) and the Magister (master's), to enhance the international compatibility of German qualifications, increase student mobility, and make the country's study programs more attractive to foreign students.

		The concern is that international students in Germany, who often go on to become business and political leaders in their home countries, will go elsewhere to study if German universities can't provide them with what they're looking for.

		On the other side of the coin, England had not won in Germany since 1965, but all those against-the-odds statistics were shattered by 90 minutes worth of high drama in which Owen emulated the feat of Sir Geoff Hurst in the 1966 World Cup final by scoring a hat-trick against the Germans.
		The goal knocked the stuffing out of Germany, who were then out for the count just three minutes after the break when a Beckham cross and a cushioned header from Heskey sublimely set up Owen for another half-volley which Kahn could only help into the net.
