This article focusses on the process of rapprochement through which German and French historians and history teachers succeeded in overcoming the deep mistrust that existed after the Second World War in order to initiate and implement the revision of school history textbooks. It also analyses how Georg Eckert became a part of the emerging Franco-German networks in order to make a significant contribution to Franco-German reconciliation from the 1950s onwards.
