member. Not too dissimilar to the situation in Britain where some positions of influence, the upper
echelons of the civil service and certain privileged occupations are almost exclusive to masons, those
from a 'higher social class' or certain public school background.
At Potsdam the victors, including the Soviet Union believe it or not, were declaring that all
'discrimination on the grounds of political opinion shall be abolished'. They then proceeded to deny
the civil rights of the German nation by permanently dissolving the German Workers National
Socialist Party (NSDAP) which had attracted more popular support than any other political party in
history. Furthermore, the victors intention was to 'ban all of its affiliated organizations, many of which
were not overtly political, ban the dissemination of its ideals, and call for the severe punishment of its
supporters for no other reason than their support for the philosophy of National Socialism.'
The Bolsheviks call it a purge; the elimination of political opposition. The allies called it denazification.
A rose by any other name, but the de-nazification program was put into place and
organised by the notorious and corpulent Communist stooge, Heinrich Schmitt. Accordingly, 3
million Germans in the U.S. Zone were effected, likewise 80,000 returned prisoners and 10,000
public servants. As in Cambodia, Vietnam and elsewhere; doctors, lawyers, business people; the
driving force of the nation were put to work in pick and shovel gangs. The intention was to further
humiliate the vanquished and again, to ape Stalin by getting rid of the 'officer class'.
"IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD WE HAVE ADOPTED THE COMMUNIST VIEW OF
JUSTICE." - Barons, October 1946
"Penalties for being Nazis ranged from death, life imprisonment, imprisonment with hard labor up to
ten years, 'sanctions', loss of citizenship, the right to vote, debarment from public office, loss of
personal rights such as car or home ownership, demotion, sackings, confiscation of property, and
employment only for ordinary (menial) labor."
Edward P. Morgan, Berlin, March 5th 1946, Chicago Daily News
Interestingly enough, the de-nazification procedures were so harsh that Ralph Keeling of the
American Institute of Economics pointed out that, "When we first arrived the Germans were strongly
anti-Communist; they have since started fleeing our zone and entering the Russian where they are
welcomed into the Communist Party and even into the Red Army, in whose ranks they may someday
be able to get their revenge on us."

Whilst the Western allies did everything possible to alienate the German population, the Russians
were taking all the steps necessary to 'wed the Red Army with the defeated Wehrmacht and Waffen
S.S."
"When the officers cross the zones frontiers they are nominally 'arrested', placed in quarantine camps,
and invited to enlist. Upon acceptance, they are given preferential treatment. In other words, the
union of the Red and Nazi armies has begun."
Hal Foust, Berlin, March 29th 1946. Chicago Sun Foreign Service
"One refrain echoed from Stalin. 'We need the whole of Germany.'"
