Does anyone recognise the literary allusion here? It comes in an unpublished
Böll novel, written 1939: the Americans are "diese Sportfexen (die, wie unsere
Literaten schreiben, sogar den Krieg wie einen Sport betreiben)" and has a
certain topicality...
I'd be grateful for any information that might lead to the apprehension of the
culprits.
