Another giant has died. Former West German Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt died today at the age of 96.
I got interested in Schmidt when I was studying German politics at university. Back in 2009 I posted on his latest book Ausser Dienst and then added references frequently.
Acres will be written and spoken about him, so I will just point to a selection of observations I have made here, here, here and here.
