Rav Schwab discusses his changing attitude toward TIDE in his article
TIDE - A Second View which I have posted at

It is not at all clear to me that Rav Schwab was *very* familiar with
RSRH's writings when he went to Lithuania in 1926 at the age of 18 to
study in Telshe. True, he could read German, but reading Rav Hirsch
in the original high level German idiom in which he wrote could not have
been easy for anyone, let alone a teenager. <br>
