	Konrad Adenauer - An historical biography
		Adenauer held the mayoralty for some sixteen years and gained a reputation as a champion of the interests of Cologne against the centralising influence of Berlin.
		Adenauer's policy cultivated ties with the United States and France and facilitated the emergence of a post-war European co-operation that acted to withstand Soviet Russian encroachments and to secure a recovery of the European economies.
		As time passed Adenauer's policies, particularly in relation to the Communist east, began to seem less credible and the CDU party was unwilling to continue to support Adenauer as Chancellor - he was thus obliged to resign in 1963.

	The Adenauer Era (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Konrad Adenauer, while sharply denouncing Nazism and insisting upon the importance of giving restitution to the victims of Nazism, assumed at the same time an attitude of "forgive and forget." He readily accepted later-day conversions to democracy at face value, and appointed men with tainted political pasts to high governmental positions.
		Adenauer, who on the whole despised his Cabinet colleagues, recognized in Strauss something of the flair for political manoeuvre on which he prided himself: he is less likely to have recognized as a further common characteristic a blind spot to the feelings of others.
		Adenauer's first expedient was to dismiss the two senior officials who had done as they were told but this did not suffice to stop the FDP Ministers from resigning in a body and indicating that they were no longer prepared to serve with Strauss.

		Adenauer initially practiced law, and made a happy and politically useful first marriage to Emma Weyer (her uncle was also lord mayor of Cologne).
		Adenauer married again, to Gussi Zinsser, and had a second family; but unwise investments and the loss of his job at the beginning of the Nazi period caused severe financial problems.

	CNN Cold War - Profile: Konrad Adenauer
		When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Adenauer, who had not hidden distaste for them, lost his positions, was forced to go into "exile" for a year in an abbey and was later interned in a prison camp until his release in 1944 due to efforts by his son.
		Less than six months later, two Adenauer memoranda -- concerning the creation of a police force, possible German contributions to the defense of Europe and a revision of Germany's status vis-a-vis the Allied powers -- caused a stir at home, in part because many Germans, in light of their recent history, were against remilitarization.
		Adenauer also negotiated a compensation agreement with Israel in recognition of the horror perpetrated by Hitler and Germany on the Jews.

	Konrad Adenauer, Biographical note
		Adenauer held the belief that the revival of the Res Publica Christiana, that is the European unity, was the only alternative solution to bloodstained nationalism.
		Adenauer prudently described the social and political reality of the new Republic in his address to the High Commissioners, that is the heads of the Allied Occupation Forces.
		At that time, Adenauer's European policy was under fire in Germany: Kurt Schumacher, the leader of the Social Democrat Party (SPD), rejected the European policy arguing that Adenauer by binding the country so closely to Europe, he was in concert with Soviet Russia and made the possibility of German reunification even more difficult.
