Evidence

The quantitative analysis of attitudes to democracy was arranged around seven `test topics’: attitudes to democracy (Bonn and the type of state post-war Germany was), to guilt (shared responsibility for war atrocities and Nazism), to the Jews, to the West (the USA, occupation, Britain, France), to the East, to rearmament, to the Germans themselves. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1886
