on earlier drafts of the introduction and parts of the translation. The Bundesarchiv, Koblenz,
and the Bundesarchiv-Militär Archiv, Freiburg, allowed me to use their holdings, as did the
Institut für Zeitgeschichte, Munich, and the Wiener Library, London. This task would have
been impossible without the wealth of contemporary political and legal holdings which I
found in the University of Freiburg. The librarians in the Universitätsbibliothek were always
efficient, and helpful whenever possible. And they were also—disproving an old and
undeserved assumption about the Germans—unfailingly good-humored and cheerful. Hours
of dictation in English were transcribed by Michaela Karl in the Seminar für
wissenschaftliche Politik with equal good cheer and accuracy. In the last stages of preparing
the manuscript the Institute for Social Sciences at the University of York provided assistance
with the typing.
To all these persons and institutions, my thanks. Only the errors and mistakes are mine alone.
