FRANCO-GERMAN (L'après-guerre)
The term Franco-German conforms
More to wars than to nachbarlich norms:
Stormy history, alarming;
L'après-guerre brought disarming.
Have I opened an old Cannes of Worms?
Dr.G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio, 2022
Authors' Note:
nachbarlich (NAKH-bahr-likh): neighborly (German)
