  • Trivia
    In an interview with the 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung', Grass admitted that he was a member of the Waffen-SS shortly before the end of World War II. As he often used to criticize Germany's long repression of its Nazi past, this late confession caused mixed reactions from indignation to disappointment [11 August 2006].
