...sseldorf Talk. Last week the debate came out in the open. Two influential voices expressed their misgivings publicly. Before Düsseldorf's Rhein-Ruhr Club, Heinrich Bruning, last democratic Chancellor of the Weimar Republic (1930-32) and now a professor at Cologne University, warned that Adenauer's policy was inflexible and unrealistic.

German firms looking for business in Madrid were told to see Otto Skorzeny, the scar-faced ex-SS officer who recaptured Mussolini in 1943. In Buenos Aires the man to see was Hans Ulrich Rudel, the one-legged Panzer knacker (tankbuster) now attached to Dictator Perón's army-training staff, who last week was given special leave to fly to Germany for a "whirlwind tour of speeches" on behalf...
