Cartoon by Lang on Pierre Mendès France and the EDC (19 August 1954)

‘With or without the EDC … “German contingent … by the right … quick march!”’ On 19 August 1954, German cartoonist Ernst Maria Lang illustrates the fears of Pierre Mendès France, President of the French Council of Ministers and French Foreign Minister, at the proposed European Defence Community (EDC) and the rearmament of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Despite the attempts of Mendès France to prevent the revival of a German army, it seems to be inevitable.
