Kroll's cabled reports on the Moscow chat stunned Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. Within ten days he would be in Washington for talks with President John F. Kennedy on the next steps in the Berlin crisis; U.S. Ambassador Thompson was awaiting the outcome before picking up his own discussions with the Russians.

Though his views may change in office, Schröder is loosely allied to West Germany's "new nationalism," which holds that the time has come for the young and powerful nation to assert its own voice in international affairs, relying on its allies only...
