‘… march in spirit with us in our ranks’. On 10 December 1949, taking inspiration from a text by the poet Bertolt Brecht on the dangers of National Socialism in Germany and the absurdity of war in his Kälbermarsch (the March of the Calves), German cartoonist Peter Leger illustrates the dangers of the Western Allies’ policy regarding a possible rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany.
