1944-05 The Network

     This edition of The Network opens with an article entitled "Who is Who Among the Free Germans in the United States." The article examines members and fellow travelers of the Council for a Democratic Germany, which is an allegedly Stalinist group working in the United States.  The rest of the paper discusses the connection between the Communist Party and the new organization.  The writers maintain that the Soviet Union was only attempting to buy time with the German-Soviet Pact and is now organizing Stalinist movements in order to dominate Europe and Asia.  The Network then examines the leaders of the Free German movement, such as Paul Hagen, Siegfried Aufhaeuser, and Ernst Bloch.
