Kneeling in Warsaw (as in Willy Brandt before the ruins of the Polish ghetto) is Germany’s answer to Nixon in China. Boredom in Bonn, more like. Echt Eislerian ‘epic theatre’, it will interest only those who can still tell their CSU from their CDU. What next? Major in Maastricht? It couldn’t be greyer. Mark Pappenheim
