the american team-based kohl -- team begged kohl to cancel this plan.eagan roundup -- wound up going with him. he was a man who knew how to get his way. he was said to have gone out with members of his staff in the middle of the night to eat large italian meals and he clearly enjoyed watching them struggle to finish. he would go out for historic east --historic feasts. -- he would go out for historic feasts with bill clinton. he was known for eating specialties like sow's stomach. he was a man of great physicality, of enormous physical presence and i think what he was able to achieve and the way he kept his power network together around him was based on that. christopher: his sheer physical presence. despite that huge legacy, his political career did end in disgrace. the huge a that hit him and his party. how seriously did that tarnish his career? >> at that time, very seriously. he was really in disgrace for a number of years and was essentially unseen. as we mentioned earlier, it was angela merkel who helped to render the final coup de grace. she, com

you said that chancellor merkel squandered kohl's legacy. she was in fact mentored by helmut kohl. she would not be where she is today if it were not for him. which she subscribed -- would she subscribe to those words we heard from him in regard to the fact that we need to be european germans and german europeans? >> oh, yes, willingly describes anything anyone says, you know. the question is, how has she acted? the fact is the two chancellors since kohl, gerhart schroeder and angela merkel, have both been german nationalists first and europeans second and that's why europe is in the fix it is today. think it's clear for gerhard schroeder, the previous -- the social democratic chancellor, he was an anti-american, anti- moscow ist flirted with and although merkel attacked him, basically her policy within europe has always been germany first. and we're seeing the results. one of the results is brexit. another result is the crisis of the euro. and you can go through with this. kohl has not done what demanded to be european germens and german europeans. it has been always germany first

what did helmut kohl do in his free time?he certainly wasn't spending it with his family. >> mary to his politics? >> both. life outside of politics and i think from that political angle i think it is a shame because that does not make for a particularly brilliant politician. he was fabulous in many ways but he -- but did he understand people? >> the unifier who cannot unifyy his own family. >> i agree. there is not much to add other than to say thahat it is extremy sad. there are a lot of people who really can't understand that and there are few people to blame. generationber of the accused by the people around him of being a moral and wrecking the family and so one -- it is all balderdash. this was the hypocrisy of so-called conservatism. helmut kohl had marital affairs. stop that once and for all because it is so distasteful. this family is not an exception, this family is typical of that hypocritical postwar generation revolutionthe sexual and i'm actually quite happy that that has been exposed. >> wow. [laughter] >> yeah

kohl served 2 terms as chancellor of west germany.then, in 1990, in the first free time german elections in years, he returned to power in a landslide victory. but his popularity waned as the reality of our unified germany set in. unemployment rose and government spending was cut. after his fourth term as chancellor, kohl suffered a heavy defeat in the 1998 election. resigned defeat, kohl as leader of the cdu, but his retirement wasn't quiet. he fought off allegations that he accepted illegal donations for the party. in 1999, he admitted to taking cash from but refused to name the donors the follow-up of the scandal helped angela merkel rise to party leadership. there were difficulties in kohl 's personal life, too. in 2001, his wife committed suicide. her death led to speculation in the normally reticent german media about kohl's private life and his relationship with his longtime assistant. a fall in 2008 led to a fractured skull and a stint in intensive care. the accident left him partially paralyzed with impaired speech. with the

[laughter] i hope our dinners continue far into this century. with the 21st century breaking over the horizon recollected the great leaders like churchill or roosevelt to unify germany and europe to strengthen the western alliance to extend the hand of friendship to russia and helmut kohl ranks with them his place in history is unavailable. and he has been a true friend of the united states. in 1989 we heard beethoven's ninth symphony for the first time to capture the

so those are two big things that helmut kohl has done. but then we come to the fine detail and the situation now. and a lot of things have gone wrong. but basically i think is a starting point, wewe have those two things. melinda: those two things were deeply linked in the mind of helmut kohl himself. we have a quote from him that pretty much sums up the words that he used to convince the skeptics when it came t to germ unification. >> let us be good neighbors and dependable partners. let us remain german europeans and european germans. then we'll have good prospects for a future in peace and freedom.

as a child, helmut kohl saw his country destroyed by world war ii. end to war. his christian democrat principles and his giant physique proved unstoppable. first he was the leader of rhineland then leader of opposition in west germany. and when schmidt's government collapsed, the cold war. he was mocked for his appetite and accent. his time might have run out were it not for a political earthquake. the fall of the berlin wall. now helmut kohl with the history man, the reassuring figure who convinced the soviet leader mikhail gorbachev to reunite germany which would pose no threat. 0n the day of reunification, helmut kohl with the father of the nation. but in eastern germany, the economy failed and brilliance lost their jobs. helmut kohl felt dearly. he had ignored the costs of unity and germany paid the price. helmut kohl turned to his other big idea, reuniting europe with the french president. tap—in became the architect of the new european union, with its own currency. at the end, kohl's ruthless attempts to cling to power led to his downfall. then
