Cartoon by Brockmann on France’s mistrust at German rearmament (22 January 1955)
Image ‘The enemy is in the East. And what will happen, dear Pierre, when I won’t be there to stand between them any more?’ On 22 January 1955, German cartoonist Brockmann takes an ironic look at the mistrust of Pierre Mendès France, President of the French Council of Ministers, concerning the rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany. For Federal Chancellor Adenauer, the threat does not come from the FRG, but from further east.
