BITBURG REMEMBERS, BUT THE BITTERNESS IS FADING
At the official level, the relationship between Bonn and Washington appears to be excellent - and Mr. [Reagan]'s popularity was clearly enhanced in West Germany by his decision to go through with the Bitburg visit. ''It wasn't that people thought the choice of Bitburg was so wonderful,'' commented an adviser to Mr. [Helmut Kohl]. ''But Reagan's going showed he was a friend even in bad times.'' Although the historian maintained that ''a lot of artificial excitement'' was kindled by Bitburg, he acknowledged that ''what remains is a kind of bitter taste.'' Some West Germans, however, say the Bitburg visit was a victory for those who would like to bury, or radically reinterpret, the Nazi past. ''I fear that the whole thing was wrongly done,'' said Walter Jens, a professor of rhetoric at Tubingen University and an activist in leftist causes. ''Germans must understand that for the whole world 'SS' is far more than two letters in the alphabet - that SS means six million Jews cruelly killed.''
