Anachronism: If the novel was released in 1968, how the hell can it be "set in the early 1970s in Bonn"?

Hello! ... Bueller?? Bueller??

Because it was set in the near future? Shimbo 08:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Just finished reading it and, yes, I wondered about the 1970s theme too. In the book there was talk of 25 years since 1945 (or the end of the war/Berlin airlift period), but that might have been a character meaning about 25 years. (Can't give page number as I've taken it back to the library!) LewPotT 17:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
