Sommario/riassunto

André François-Poncet was France's ambassador in Berlin from 1931 to 1938. He not only saw the Weimar Republic fall, but also the Third Reich. The diplomat was confronted with all questions of international politics in the inter-war period: Should Germany issue reparations and allow armaments? How should you react to Chancellor Hitler? Should we seek cooperation or discussion with him? Should his breaches of contract be answered with political and / or economic sanctions or even intervention? The present study shows the different answers



André François-Poncet gave to these questions. They were by no means as clear-cut as the ambassador after the Second World War and the previous research would have us believe. André François-Poncet wavered between cooperation and confrontation with Germany until his resignation after the Munich Conference. The study, which brings the first half of the life of the legendary ambassador out of the shadows of history, shows when he pleaded for what and why.
