‘11 November 1966. Will kapitulate? Won’t kapitulate? Well, Herr Marshal Ludwig von Erhard, I’m waiting!’ On 9 November 1966, two days before the commemoration of the signing of the 1918 Armistice, which marked the end of the First World War and the defeat of Germany, French cartoonist Roland Moisan takes inspiration from these events to illustrate the strained relations and distrust between French President Charles de Gaulle (on the left) and Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard (on the right, sitting at the negotiating table). Former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (wearing the pointed helmet) is trying to walk towards his former French partner to extend a hand, but he is held back by his own men.
