The appeal of the EFTA to the Germans was misjudged, with London convinced that it would be picked by West Grermany in preference to the EEC. Following Khrushchev's initial threats over Berlin in November 1958, Macmillan even attempted to link EFTA and Berlin, proposing to warn Adenauer that the FRG's behaviour over EFTA had been unsatisfactory. 32 Harold Macmillan and the Berlin Wall Crisis Grerman support for the EFTA had been hesitant and Macmillan saw the problem of Sixes (the EEC) and Sevens (the EFTA countries) in Europe as the central question of the time.
Like the Soviets, Kennan was most concerned about moves to arm the West Germans with nuclear weapons and feared that once they were introduced, solving the German question would become infinitely more complicated as it would become irrevocably linked with nuclear disarmament.

The Berlin crisis reopened the debate on the future of Germany and ended all ongoing discussions of disengagement in Britain, but Anglo-German relations had already suffered serious damage.
