German politician Erhard Eppler died today.
He was born in Ulm in 1926.
Eppler was an SPD politician and government minister.
He once famously said the there was not a day in his life that he did not criticise his party.
Nice to hear. How many tell people who criticise to get out?
In his book Not much time for the Third World, Eppler was one of the first to point out the connection between the protection of the environment and international development.
At 16 he joined the NSDAP and later freely admitted that he joined Hitler's party. He was a soldier 1943 to 1945.
He died in Schwäbisch Hall, where he grew up and where his father was a teacher.
By profession Eppler was a teacher. He was active in the Protestant Church.
