KAI P. SCHOENHALS is Associate Professor of History at Kenyon College. He is the author of Revolution and Intervention in Grenada and has contributed chapters and journal articles on topics in history and political science.
?Schoenhals (Kenyon College) provides a thorough treatment of the
National Committee Free Germany' (NKFD), an organization of German
prisoners of war and Communist exiles who, beginning in 1943,
established an anti-Nazi movement in the Soviet Union. The NFKD
never successfully promulgated anti-Hitler propaganda in Germany,
but the organization did achieve modest success in the
de-Nazification of German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union. All
of the NKFD's members were condemned by the Nazi regime, and, as
Schoenhals relates, most were labeled as Communist traitors' in
postwar Germany. Based largely on East German sources and
interviews with NKFD veterans in East Germany, this balanced
account should serve as a valuable source for advanced
undergraduates and graduate students in the military history of WW
II. An extensive bibliography of secondary sources on the German
army's anti-Nazi elements is included.?-Choice
