The successful resistance to the "Nuclear State" 1985-1989.
A civil protest movement, which crossed national frontiers and party lines.
The prevention of nuclear reprocessing at Wackersdorf in Bavaria, Germany.
The actions of free citizens, active politicians, committed public figures, including Robert Jungk and Archbishop Karl Berg, and the "Unknown Resister."

*The fence, which made a fortress of the Wackersdorf Construction site, became a symbol of the arrogance of power and police state methods in the "nuclear state."
