- This book is a re-interpretation of the protests of the late 1960s which challenges existing narratives of generational clash (in respect to the Nazi past, gender and family relationships). It underpins its findings with a large body of newly discovered primary sources (3000 hours of audiotaped interviews and the files and datasets of the BOLSA study) which are analysed for the first time, and supplemented with additional material from local and state archives and private collections. On top of the BOLSA material, the author conducted interviews with other age groups. The book is the result of many years of work.

- English abstract
- This book challenges the standard account of 1968 in the Bundesrepubik. It reveals that the accepted view of 1968 was based the media’s view of it as a generational conflict between Nazi fathers and rebellious sons. This study is based upon three collections of taped interviews recorded for different purposes at Bonn University. As a result, evidence of the experience of these years is taken from three generations (1968ers, their parents and their grandparents). The book shows that family solidarity was far more prevalent than generational conflict, and that the aspirations of the younger generation were reformist rather than revolutionary.
