ABSTRACT
Wolff ’s appearance before the United States Senate subcommittee can be seen as symbolic for the interconnectedness of the German and American student movements of the 1960s. However, it is not only indicative of this close relationship, but also an expression of the transnationality of the sixties’ revolt. The relationship between the German Socialist Student League (Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund) and the American Students for a Democratic Society movements of the 1960s exemplify the international dimension of protest during that decade. The American Students for a Democratic Society and the German Socialist Student League are both incidentally abbreviated SDS.
