Germans wont join Western Army before 1955 says Allies
Allied officials in Bonn said the 12 German divisions earmarked for the Western defense must wait until 1955 at earliest. Germany would need two years to call up arm and train 300000 to 400000 men, with no drafts before early 1953 perhaps later. Political opposition in France and Bonn’s coalition turmoil threaten ratification of a six nation draft treaty.
