Western Germans Granted Right to Form Their Government
The United States Britain and France offered 45 million western Germans the right to form a federal government and a substitute for a peace treaty. Western German officials would have broad powers, likely forming early next year to unite the three western occupation zones. Moscow opposed the plan for western Germany. Leaders from the three zones met with General Clay Sir Brian Robertson and Pierre Koenig to draft a democratic constitution for approval by referendum. The occupiers said borders could be adjusted to fit traditional patterns and promised an occupation statute in place of a peace treaty.
