After this little speech at the airport, the French party drove off in one set of black limousines, and the Russian hosts (Bulganin and Molotov, but not Khrushchev) in another. Soon Mollet found that the Russians too could be direct...
Appalling Error. While Adenauer lay in his bed for seven weeks, more seriously ill than most people knew, Molotov at the second Geneva conference convinced thousands of West Germans that reunification was a gift to be bestowed by one power-the Soviet Union-and on its conditions. The failure of positions of strength to win East Germany back led some Germans to ask why they should waste time, money and manpower in rearming. Why rearm if there "ain't gonna be no war"?
