Cartoon by Siegl on the differences between France and Germany in terms of foreign policy (13 February 1965)
Image ‘An exciting adventure with Lady Europe. Be assured, dear sir, that I will obey you in all circumstances. However, I fear that this road is going nowhere.’ On 13 February 1965, in light of the many differences of opinion between Bonn and Paris, German cartoonist Siegl takes an ironic look at the policy of grandeur and independence pursued by the French President and emphasises the warnings issued by Federal Chancellor Erhard at the path taken by General de Gaulle.
