Our Children And The Germans

Is the German arrogant, a beer swiller, aggressive, fat, jack-booted and blond, pompous or just not to be trusted? Ask a British citizen and impressions like these may be high on the list. Every summer, in an effort to dispel these cliches, the West German government part sponsors visits by young people from Britain. One such group is from Barnstaple in Devon: a generation who know little about the last war and may soon find themselves partners with a country their parents fought. Tonight's documentary watches as one group of young people come to grips with the German way of life and decide whether they want to be part of the new Europe or not.
