...High Commissioner is in frequent contact with U.S. Army heaquarters several hundred miles down the Rhine at Heidelberg, since his position is still partly that of a military governor. But the functions of his office have been significantly diminished in other respects...

France had acted as if European defense could be had without Germany, which was a mistake; it would be equal folly to think that the West could do without France. France is the key piece of real estate between the Atlantic and the Rhine, the communications line, supply depot, and headquarters of NATO. France still would have to be taken into account...
