...East Germans want West Germany to grant them full diplomatic recognition so that their part of Germany may take its place as a full-fledged sovereign nation in the world community. Brandt is willing to grant de jure recognition to East Germany-but with two important reservations. In accord with his formula of two German "states" within one "nation," he maintains that the Federal Republic will never regard the German Democratic Republic as a foreign country. He also holds that Germans of both countries will always share a common citizenship. Moreover, before he will consider granting diplomatic recognition to East...
