US ambassador killed over a film

How many people do you think still remember "99 Luftballons" or how about the fact that it was redone specifically for the US as "99 Red Ballons" with it's lyrics translated to English?

Are you not remembering that the version of 99 Luftballons that was a hit in the US *was* the German language version? I hate it when a radio station plays the English version, because it just doesn't sound right. And I know all those things you mentioned, Lissa. My kids know, too. I don't think of people's ignorance of all the things you wrote as 'German culture suppression', but rather as 'general cultural ignorance' on the part of the masses, which is pretty common these days in the US, sadly.
