The new Sancho is trotting English-style …’ On 11 May 1963, German cartoonist Ernst Maria Lang portrays the difficult relationship between French President de Gaulle and Ludwig Erhard, German Vice-Chancellor and Minister for the Economy, who, unlike the French President, is in favour of British accession to the Common Market. On the left, Chancellor Adenauer accompanies de Gaulle on his horse.
