Similarly, Brandt's famed Ostpolitik has lately met with obduracy from East European leaders. The Poles are reneging on their agreement to repatriate thousands of ethnic Germans. The Czechs refuse to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations until Bonn denounces as null and void from the start the 1938 Munich Agreement that ceded part of Czechoslovakia to the Third Reich. Hungary, in turn, will not deal with West Germany until it first complies with Prague's demands...

After serving in the German artillery in World War I, he continued painting, and eventually reached Paris at a time when Dada was in full swing and Surrealism was about to be born.
