Abstract
If the FRG’s economic relations with the Caetano dictatorship carried with them political implications, this was even more pronounced in the case of military relations, especially given the state of warfare in Portugal’s colonies. With that in mind, this chapter examines Bonn’s attempts to disentangle its military links with Lisbon from the Estado Novo’s actions in Africa, showing how far the Brandt governments went in terms of distancing the FRG from the inherited role of material backer of the colonial wars.
