The rearmament of both Germanies in the late 1940's-early 1950's was one of the defining moments of the Cold War. The question of rearming Germany became one of the most difficult questions faced by the Western Allies after World War II. Inside West Germany there was also a considerable debate as to whether Germany ought to rearm at all. Once the decision to rearm was made, the Germans and Western Allies ran into all the practical problems of deciding whether Germany would join NATO, what role the Germans would play in the Alliance, how Germany would be armed and the form the armed forces would play in German society. A team of expert authors have examined all of these core questions in detail. An analysis of the origins of reamament in East Germany is also provided. With this book a reader will gain a thorough understanding of the complex issues that faced the West from 1945-1957. Contributors are Jonathan House, Douglas Peifer, Martin Rink, Daniel Jordan, Adam Seipp, Thomas Vogel, Klaus Naumann, Dieter Kollmer and Oliver Haller. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vv. 64. 517 3 $aRe-arming Germany 606 $aNational security$zGermany (West)$xHistory 606 $aNational security$zGermany (East)$xHistory 606 $aCold War 607 $aGermany (West)$xMilitary policy 607 $aGermany (West)$xDefenses$xHistory 607 $aGermany (West)$xArmed Forces$xHistory 607 $aGermany (East)$xMilitary policy 607 $aGermany (East)$xDefenses$xHistory 607 $aGermany (East)$xArmed Forces$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xHistory, Military$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational security$xHistory. 615 0$aNational security$xHistory. 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a355/.033543 701 $aCorum$b James S$0965993 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461833903321 996 $aRearming Germany$92192229 997 $aUNINA
