It's been 14 since the physical passing of his Rebbi and mentor. Physical passing, I say, because his legacy is perpetuated by the פלג הירושלמי, to some extent.. it's Ozel gavra demistafinah minei... Hamburger the former big kanoi, pride of German Jewry going back a 1000 years, one of his henchman, participated in a Mizrachi event with professors and Misrochi rabbis. If Maran would be alive this would generate a letter in his מכתבים ומאמרים against this terrible pirtzah. I guess Hamburger prefers Ravs Kook's shitah that there will be no moshiach, R"L, that the State of Israel is redemption, rather than the Moshiach of Brooklyn Chassidim. The Yekkes were always proper and quite loyal to their regimes, no matter what his plans were for the Jews. Deep down I assume they agree with Rav Kook on that one, even if they were anti-Zionist.
