Video
In this interview excerpt, Francis Gutmann, an official in the French Foreign Ministry from 1951 to 1957 and Secretary-General of the External Relations Ministry from 1981 to 1985, discusses the nature of Franco-British relations in the field of defence from the establishment of Western European Union (WEU) in 1954 to the purchase of US Polaris missiles by the United Kingdom in 1962, a move which revealed fundamental differences between the two states and had an impact on discussions within WEU.
