Gabi, thank you for your opinion on this (honestly).
The "...it wasn't too serious" refered to a quoted comment from
Christan Taube.

Agreed. It's serious. Where do you live? Unfortunately, I have not
read too much about Marlene Dietrich and her life in respect to
all you mention in your letter. Nazi propaganda at the funeral site
in Berlin-Schoeneberg in 1992 makes me very sad.
