[edit] Picture

The picture is terrible. A request has been made on German Wiki to find a better one. There is a chance some fan might send in a nicer looking one soon. RCS 15:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I have one! but I can't upload it yet. I'll have to wait till tomorrow at 12, when I'm an autoconfirmed user. So stay tuned Lukas (talk) 22:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What?

"that about 200 Secret Service men of the SED State MfS/Stasi had worked against him, terrorised him, (he named the officers Lohr and Reuter) and that it remains a crime to collaborate with those who take their heritage of a dictatorship (es ist eine Verbrechen, falsch, die Erben der DDR Nomenklatura gewähren zu lassen). This is not just a crime, it is so wrong. It made him to an eastberlin soldier in the eternal struggle for freedom of mankind. He did not forget to report, that the Nazis not only killed his father in the KZ Auschwitz, but shot in 1941 as well 20 family members in Minsk. It was left open, if the killers have been brought to justice."

This makes no sense Crocodilicus 19:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War

I would like to know a source for the following statement, if possible: "He supported the 1999 NATO war against Yugoslavia and the 2003 war against Iraq." I am aware of Biermann's affiliation with "Die Welt." Did he voice his support of these causes in an editorial? Thank you.

Hey, here is the essay in "Der Spiegel" where he states his POV towards the war. Lukas (talk) 22:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
