...Europeans, in perhaps understandable antagonism, let a crafty old nationalist carry their side into the fight. Ex-Premier Paul Reynaud scoffed at "the Eden miracle," warned of the "rebirth of the Wehrmacht" and sarcastically asked: "Will there be a German general staff which will train men a la prussienne and force in them the soul of a German soldier?" Even old Robert Schuman, who probably sacrificed his political future by his long fight for EDC, assumed a slight tinge of nationalism.

Its chief ingredient: hard work. "Other people," says an old German saw, "work to live. The German lives to work." It was Germany's cigar-smoking Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard who gave that national characteristic a free hand.
