How to establish trust? ? “Today West-German imperialism is the USA’s chief ally in Europe in aggravating world tension. West Germany is increasingly becoming a seat of the war danger where revenge-seeking passions are running high. West Germany already has a large army in which officers of the Nazi Wehrmacht form the backbone. Many leading posts in the Government are occupied by former Nazis and even war criminals. The policy pursued by the Federal Republic of Germany is being increasingly determined by the same monopolies that brought Hitler to power. ” (Brezhnev 1966)
Trusting the Soviet Union: The German perspective “A gas supply of southern Germany over very long distances at politically, from the supplier side, manipulable conditions should only be taken into consideration to the extent that the south German gas market does thereby not get into a dependence on Russian natural gas deliveries…. The possibility must be guaranteed that an interruption of Russian deliveries can be compensated for everywhere – without supply disturbances in the market – by supplies from elsewhere (German, Dutch or other natural gas as well as refinery gas, etc. ). ” (Federal Ministry of Economy, 1967)

Soviet natural gas in the 1980 s: American opposition “An increased dependence on Soviet gas will almost certainly influence European decision-making, despite likely efforts to provide a cushion against supply cutoffs. The Soviets conceivably could exacerbate European differences with the US over future economic sanctions against the USSR or even over more sensitive issues such as NATO force modernization” (CIA, 1982)
