‘Isn’t that the same place we got off!?’ On 4 September 1974, German cartoonist Horst Haitzinger illustrates the joint attempt by French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt to revive the engine of European integration. In the sky, two angels, General de Gaulle and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, the fathers of the 1963 Élysée Treaty, carefully observe the efforts of the new Franco-German tandem to move Europe forward.
