In a short quiz section on the Pat Kenny Show this morning Pat asked who was German Chancellor when JFK visited Berlin.
The contestant did not know the answer and Pat Kenny supplied the answer - Willy Brandt.
When Kennedy visited Berlin Konrad Adenauer was Chancellor of Federal Germany and Willy Brandt, who would later become German Chancellor was at the time Mayor of Berlin.
And then later when Kenny makes the correction he tells his listeners that Erhard was Chancellor.
Pat, wrong again. Ludwig Erhard was Adenauer's famous Fiance Minister, who succeeded Adenauer, but never won the hearts of the Germans as he did when he was Finance Minister. He was the man associated with the great German Wirtschaftswunder.
And all those misakes on the day of the State exams in German.

Pat sometimes gets mixed up in his great enthusiasm to show off his vast store of knowledged, usually acquired from his extensive staff briefing some five minutes before the event.
Not the first time.
