East Germany trims army as Cold War leverage
East Germany announces a cut in its projected army from 120000 to 90000 men a move viewed as propaganda by West Germany. Chancellor Adenauer’s government transfers 15000 frontier guards to boost its own forces toward 500000 while West Germany’s army grows to about 30000 with a 94000 target for year end. The cabinet pledges no conscription, relying on volunteers for a People’s National Army. Western officials see the gesture as aimed at pressuring Parliament amid conscription debates. They also note the move may reflect limits in recruiting 120000 volunteers and fits a broader Soviet bloc show of disarmament.
