West Berlin mayor Brandt seizes national tie by ruling coalition
Willy Brandt, West Germany’s mayor, declared Social Democrats the winners after a disputed national vote. He moved to form an agreement with the Free Democrats to topple the Christian Democrats, aiming for a grand coalition and his own ascent to chancellor. Brandt’s life story traces a perilous rise from exile during the Nazi era to international political influence. He remains a polarizing figure, seen as a reformer by supporters and a radical by rivals, with a strong personal background as Herbert Frahm.
