He adds, ''...I am living in Bridgetown and if my enemies inside and outside of Germany win their case, will have to continue to do so for some time. But I know history too well and know how quickly the political picture changes and how short today '1000 years' are...'' Nazis, of course, referred to their rule as the 1000-year Reich.
