He is due to arrive June 4th, accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama. The President and his wife plan to stay in a five star hotel in the historic city centre of Dresden, which was largely destroyed in World War II.<br /><br />Shortly after the bombing of Dresden, Obama's great-uncle, Charlie Payne, who served in the US army, participated in the liberation of a forced labor camp that was a part of Buchenwald. Charlie Payne witnessed scenes of great horror at this camp, where 50,000 people died.<br /><br />The Obama visit is highly anticipated in Germany. As a presidential candidate he spoke to around 200,000 people at Berlin's Victory Column, an event which generated massive media attention.<br /><br />Our reporter will be talking to the people of Dresden to find out what they think about their high profile guest. Has this small town been turned upside down by special security arrangements? Do people welcome President Obama with open arms, given the complex sensitivities of his visit? How do they feel about him seeing the former concentration camp? <br />You can also suggest other angles... Just tell us what you want!<br />-------------------<br />Some group of people interested?
