Honecker in Moscow, Opens Anti-Nazi Museum : Soviets, E. Germans Bar Reunification

East German leader Erich Honecker and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev affirmed Sunday their “complete unanimity” of views against reunification of East and West Germany.

Honecker, in a visit apparently timed to coincide with President Reagan’s state visit to Bonn, also opened a museum dedicated to German opponents of Nazism.

He praised the Soviet Union for helping to liberate Europe during World War II, “including the German people, from Hitler’s tyranny,” the official Tass news agency reported.

No Hint of Rift

There was no hint of any rift in the relationship between Moscow and East Berlin despite open Soviet criticism of Honecker last year that reportedly led to his cancellation of a scheduled visit to West Germany.

The Tass account of the meeting said that Gorbachev and Honecker agreed that West Germany’s acceptance of U.S. Pershing 2 and cruise missiles “directly contradicts” Bonn’s assurances that a new war never would start on German soil.

‘Star Wars’ Criticized

“The security interests of European countries . . . require a rejection of militaristic and revanchist concepts in politics (and) full recognition of the political and territorial realities resulting from the second World War,” the Tass report added.

“The Soviet Union and the (East) German Democratic Republic resolutely come out against any concepts about the ‘German question being unsolved,’ ” Tass said, referring to West Germany’s refusal to accept a divided Germany as irrevocable.

The Tass statement also criticized the Bonn government for willingness to support President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, his so-called “Star Wars” program of research on a space-based missile defense system.

In his tribute to the Soviet army shortly before the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, Honecker said East Germany was created as a result of that victory. Honecker, now 72, was in jail in Berlin when Soviet troops captured Hitler’s capital.

East Germany “has been and will be a true friend and reliable ally of the Soviet Union and together with the other countries of the socialist community will stint no efforts in strengthening the positions of socialism and defending peace in Europe,” the Tass report said.

Honecker and Gorbachev also agreed to cooperate more on economic tasks, especially those dealing with scientific and technological progress. East Germany already is the Soviet Union’s leading supplier of advanced electronic equipment.

Last summer, Honecker was preparing to visit West Germany to meet West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and to discuss strengthening relations between the two Germanys.

Communist Party newspapers in Moscow, however, began denouncing the Bonn government and accused it of trying to subvert East Germany by providing it with economic-development loans. Under pressure from the Soviet Union, Honecker canceled his scheduled trip.

Earlier this year, Honecker and Kohl met for more than two hours at the funeral of Gorbachev’s predecessor, Konstantin U. Chernenko.
