Russia and Allies Reject German Unification With Military Accord
James Marlow reports that in a March 10 exchange Russia proposed a united Germany with free elections supervised by the United Nations and a military buildup forbidden to join alliances. The Allies rejected both ideas, citing a move backward from postwar cooperation and the risk of a rearmed Germany allying with Russia.
