RIP. Sounds like he was a fun guy. Seriously.

There was a memorial ceremony today in Hamburg. Music has been conducted by Kent Nagano - Bach and Pachelbel. There were just three orations, held by the mayor of Hamburg, Kissinger and Merkel. The mayor quoted Schmidt:
"So eine
Scheisse wie der zweite Weltkrieg darf nie mehr passieren." "Such a
crap (!!!) like WWII should never happen again."
Picture shows Henry Kissinger after his remarkable and moving oration in German language.
