Allies To Arm Germans For Western Defense
The 12 Atlantic Pact deputies agreed to arm Germans to help defend the West. About 150,000 West German troops would form a defense line from the Aegean to the Arctic in three years, making up roughly one fifth of Western forces. France, wary of German power, approved only brigades of 4,000 or 5,000 men. The plan awaits joint meetings and formal approvals, with Eisenhower possibly named commander in chief of pact armies in Europe. Countries involved include the United States Canada Britain France Italy Belgium The Netherlands Luxembourg Portugal Iceland Norway and Denmark. Two recruitment options were proposed including a civilian commissioner or using a German ministry under Allied supervision.
