Willy Brandt at the desk original sound, big: "to preserve peace in Europe until further notice based on the balance of military power. Therefore, our defence efforts are essential. It is, if one just takes it, the respect that have the power blocs, differ from their mutual military capabilities and the armed conflict, major armed conflicts shut out this respect, called also deterrence, based on an understanding imposed by the modern weapons of mass destruction, that any attempt to solve political problems with violence, carries the risk of self-destruction in. This should stay but not a permanent condition. We are looking therefore with all of our neighbors for solutions that ensure a genuine lasting peace. It would be however foolish to want to relax, and at the same time neglecting the protection of one's own existence. For the time being, the principle of military balance among the guiding principles of our security policy. Our anchorage in the Atlantic Alliance is a critical requirement of this policy.
