Adenauer's first projected step was the recognition of Poland, in the hope of creating useful fragmentation among the Soviet satellites. Having broken with Tito over the issue of East German recognition, West Germany could scarcely justify entering into diplomatic relations with the Poles, who have recognized East Germany ever since...
