U S Troops In Europe Put On Combat Basis
U S and British forces moved to strengthen West Europe defenses amid political wrangling over West German rearmament. In Heidelberg American troops were put on a combat footing, the Seventh Army revived under Lt Gen Manton Eddy. British zones plan two new airfields and a Belgian division to Germany. Berlin received 300 more U S Infantry to bolster the garrison amid Soviet encirclement. Adenauer privately blamed Allies for German disunity on rearmament. McCloy urged Germans to face the defense issue as Socialist campaigns against rearmament gained momentum. Officials warned Washington of anti-rearmament sentiment, while reactivation signals a shift from policing to defense duties. The Assembly in Strasbourg discussed a European army linked to NATO.
