BERLIN (Reuters) - "Today we need the Iron Chancellor," read the front-page headline in top-selling German newspaper Bild on Tuesday, next to a picture of Angela Merkel in a Prussian helmet.

On page two, Bild laid out a 5-point plan for Merkel to bring along with her to a summit in Brussels in the evening that could prove decisive in sealing Greece's fate. The first point in the plan: the immediate exit of Greece from the euro zone.
