...both were extremely effective. One consisted of Leopold Pieschel, 44, a messenger in the French military mission, and his brother-in-law, Martin Marggraf, 41, a waiter whose specialty was bugging diplomatic receptions and dinners at such places as the presidential villa and Chancellor Kiesinger's Palais Schaumburg. While Marggraf planted mini-microphones, Pieschel systematically photographed secret NATO documents from the French commandant's safe-the key to which he had stolen, duplicated and returned...
...Bonn's plans called for an expansion of the Bundeswehr over the next few years, but Kiesinger's Cabinet, worried about the economic slowdown in West Germany, two weeks ago decided to cut military expansion plans by about 25%. When a jet passed low over the Palais Schaumburg, in which the Cabinet was meeting, Interior Minister Paul Lücke cracked: "Schroder is calling out his Starfighters against us."

As a result of Kiesinger's protests, Johnson agreed to withdraw fewer of the fighter-bombers than he had intended to bring home, but he stuck by the U.S. plan to reduce ground forces in Germany by 20,000 men. He also promised that Washington from...
...passed with it. Only a year after winning for himself and his party a major election victory, Erhard was unceremoniously pushed offstage in bitter political fighting that produced a five-week crisis in West Germany's government. When he left the Bundestag and took his leave of the Palais Schaumburg, where for three years he had ruled as Chancellor, Erhard was a lonely and dejected figure.
