22.11.1955
Erste Generale ernannt
Schon während der Genfer Außenministerkonferenz beschleunigten die Bonner Revanchepolitiker die Aufstellung der westdeutschen Söldner-Armee. Momentan fordern sie eine Neuauflage des Kalten Krieges und treffen bereits Vorbereitungen, ihn in einen heißen verwandeln zu können. Die ersten 101 Offiziere als Kader der künftigen Armee wurden am 12.11.1955 durch Kriegsminister Blank ernannt.

Kriegsminister Blank spricht zu den ehemaligen faschistischen Offizieren, die als Kader der neuen Armee ernannt wurden. Über Blank prangt das Eiserne Kreuz, einst als Orden für besondere Tapferkeit in den Befreiungskriegen gestiftet, soll es jetzt wie in den vergangenen Kriegen mißbraucht werden. Herrn Blank sollte es eine Warnung sein, daß er auch zu den geschlagenen Rittern gen Osten zählt, die mit diesem Zeichen in die Niederlage zogen.
Description
Information added by Wikimedia users.
English: GFR, Bonn, Ermekeil-barracks, 1955, Defence-Minister Theodor Blank, during the speech at the appointment-ceremony for the first 101 volunteers for the new west-german army. From GDR archives. Original caption reads: First generals nominated. During the foreign ministers conference in Geneva, the revenge-politicians from Bonn already speeded up the deployment of the westgerman mercenary-army. Right now they request a new issue of the cold-war and make preparations to turn it into a hot one. The first 101 officers as cadre of the future army have been officially nominated on 12th November 1955 by minister of war Theodor Blank. Minister of war Blank speaks to former fascist officers, which have been appointed as cadre for the new army. Over Blank boasts the iron cross, once donated as medal for extraordinary bravery in the independence wars, it shall now be again misused as in the past wars. It should be a warning to Mr. Blank, that he as well is one of those knights of the east who did march into defeat under this emblem.
