Abstract
Many books have been written about Germany and the Germans since
the end of the second World War. Among these are numerous analyses
of surveys of Germans since the war; surveys conducted by Germans and
by foreigners, surveys to measure nationalism, fascism, and antisemitism,
surveys on current events and election predictions. Though
most of these books and surveys are concerned with the German population
as a whole and specifically with the older generation, there
has been in the last ten years an increased interest in the opinions
of the younger generation, the generation which has grown up after
the war and which does not feel so personally the after-effects of
the war. Though a few authors and interviewers classify this generation
today as sixteen to twenty-nine year-olds, most surveys of the
past ten years have concentrated on the youths of ages sixteen to
twenty. Because of the German educational system, most of these
youths are either working or unemployed. Less than 5 per cent complete
their Abitur and are able to go on to the university, and only
a portion of these ever actually complete the university education.
Though many of the surveys of the younger generation mention students,
this term generally includes those also in the Gymnasium, generally
considered equivalent to the American high school and two years of
junior college. The university students as a body are sadly neglected. The purpose of this survey was to establish the opinions and
attitudes of a group of students at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg,
Erlangen, Germany, toward current German issues. It was to be
a survey separate from the German population as a whole and separate
from the German youth as a whole to determine purely student opinion
on matters previously measured within the other populations as a
whole.
