'I think it is important that we recognise that this so-called "divide" is not on the surface what it sometimes appears to be. It is not necessarily a demarcation line of bristling alliances facing one another. It is a divide that is unilaterally applied by the Eastern side. and primarily to confine its own inhabitants to the existing area of Soviet hegemony today... So I think it's a problem that we have to continue to work with, with patience and fortitude and always with equality of outcome between East and West.'
General Alexander Haig, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, who talks to Erik de Mauny in the concluding programme of this series.
