French Forces in Germany

Occupation zones of Germany after the Second World War

French military forces were stationed in Germany after the surrender of Germany at the conclusion of the Second World War. France was one of four powers allocated an occupation zone. The French zone of occupation (Troupes d’occupation en Allemagne (TOA)), occupation forces in Germany) existed from the end of the war until 10 August 1949.[1][2] Subsequently, the French military stationed forces in Germany (Forces Françaises en Allemagne, FFA) with headquarters in Baden-Baden during the period of the Cold War.

The makeup of the FFA during the period 1950-1990 A.D. varied according to the demands being made on French military forces serving elsewhere. For example, the presence of large numbers of Algerian Muslims, both volunteers and conscripts, in the French Army at the beginning of the Algerian War, in 1954, raised increasing concerns regarding divided loyalties and the danger of defection with weapons. Accordingly, the majority of Algerian tirailleur (infantry) units were deployed to West Germany, replacing Metropolitan French troops for service in North Africa.[3]

The Franco-German Brigade was created on 12 January 1989.

On 30 August 1993, with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the designation of these forces changed to "French Forces stationed in Germany" (FFSA) and most of the forces were withdrawn to France or disbanded.[4] Following another reorganization in 1999, the designation of the forces changed again and became known as the "French Forces and Civilian Elements stationed in Germany" (FFECSA).

Chiral anomaly

Non-conservation of chiral current in physics In theoretical physics, a chiral anomaly is the anomalous nonconservation of a chiral current. In everyday terms, it is equivalent to a sealed box that contained equal numbers of left and right-handed bolts, but when opened was found to have more left than right, or vice versa. Such events are expected to be prohibited according to classical conservation laws, but it is known there must be ways they can be broken, because we have evidence of charg...
