August 21, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

For three days a rugged island in the sea of Soviet Union occupation which is West Berlin had again the air of being the capital of West Germany. For it was in Berlin that the West German National Assembly met on July 19, 1954 to extend the mandate of the federal President, Theodore Heuss, for another five years. It was characteristic of this distinguished man, a statesman in the classic German tradition, that his first official act after his reelection was to pay homage to the memory of the five thousand victims of the anti-Hitler coup of July 20, 1944.
