Scope and Content

The file contains several reports and press-cuttings from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Welt, Frankfurter Rundschau and Süddeutsche Zeitung. Most of the documents are regarding Prisoner of war ( POWs) after 1945, yet the approach is diverse. The first report in the file is regarding the feelings of the Germans after 1945 on the Jewish question. Questions like 'how many Germans were sorry for the way Hitler treated Jews?', 'how many recognize the responsibility for Hitler's treatment of Jews?' and 'how many people are still believing in Hitler's superiority theories?' have been discussed. In addition newspaper articels report about operations to take the leaders of the German subversive movement into custody; arrests in Germany, where the network of S.S. was uncovered and German prisinors in Britain. The classification of this POW is explained, as well as the time they are going to stay in the camps. Furthermore the reports discuss the behaviour of POWs in the camps and argues that most of them are opportunists and will now pretend to be democrats. Newspaper articels from 1958 report about a new military academie in Hamburg, Germany. Informations about the training of soldiers in this academy for higher ranks in the military career can be read.
