ANSCHLUSS-FRAUENFELD AGAIN SLATED FOR U.S. NAZI COMMAND

Anse/I/was-Frauenfeld -- the man who played into Hitler's hands -- is once more on the point of leaving for the United States. He has been groomed for years for his new post, and is just the man to take over the United States Sector of the Fifth-Column Front since he has never actively figured in trans-Atlantic Nazi entanglements.

Nov that many Hitler subversivists are currently being exposed -- and thus Jndered useless for service in the United States -- their replacement is cre- ating a serious problem for Herr Doktor Goebbels. Among those whose propaganda poison fangs have been plucked in the course of time are Colin Ross 1) (whose activities were repeatedly spotlighted by NEWS LETTER, more recently in issues of October 2, 1940 and August 28, 1940); the Duke of Saxe-COburg..Gotha z), (whose Red Cross camouflage was reviewed in NEWS LETTER of October 2, 1940 and March 21, 1940); Dr. Alfred von Wegerer 3) (see NEWS LETTER of October 2, 1940 and April 11, 1940); "Propaganda Prince" Bernhard zur Lippe *)(who sailed for Japan )n July 19, 1940, after his Nazi recruiting work among American students had peen analyzed in NEWS LETTER of July 17, 1940 and May 22, 1940); and last, but not least, "Columbia Professor" Friedrich E. Auhagen (see NEWS LETTER of Oc- tober 9, 1940 and September 14, 1939) who was apprehended:ashe was about to sail to his German fatherland via Japan.

Frauenfeld's "Career" Watched

Although Frauenfeld may be a stranger to most people outside the Swastika Reich, his propaganda work has been pilloried before in NEWS LETTER. Mention of him was first made on July 5, 1939, when it was revealed that the March 13, 1939] issue of Westdeutscher Beobachter had been withdrawn. This "Special Sou- venir" issue, celebrating the first anniversary of the Austrian Anschluss, contained an article by Frauenfeld, shedding significant light on what actual- ly happened to Nazi prisoners at the Austrian concentration camp Woellersdorf. There, a great many of them had died, supposedly from typhoid but in reality from dysentery -- as confirmed by The New York Times' then European Chief Cor- respondent, Frederick T.

Ever since, Frauenfeld has been on Goebbels' "Eligibility List", being carefully groomed for a later appointment to so vital an overseas propaganda sector as the United States. In line with these plans,/ Frauenfeld has been trotted out on all suitable occasions. The most important was the "Day of Ger- man Folkdom", held in conjunction with the Day in September, 19350 liStanding under the slogan: One Reich, One People, One Fuhrer, One God, Frau- enfeld was one of the foremost speakers of that day. In the course of his ad- dress, he stated: "Take heed that race is an eternal and divine creation. The borders of the German Reich have been drawn by German blood. They end 6nly where the German language, German customs and German loyalty find an end. All Germans must help build the great cathedral of the German future, in which all the people of the Third Reich will have room."

Shortly after Frauenfeld's Nazi Party address, rumors were again rampant that he was slated for the US Nazi. command. Once more, The New York Times re- ported in great detail, with the result that Frauenfeld did not set sail for the New World. Now that news is received over here that Frauenfeld, not to be discouraged, is about to assume the post of Reich Propaganda Generalissimo in the United States, the possibility arises that, if this country is sufficient- ly forewarned, he may again refrain from venturing across the sea to prepare America's ideological Ansohlusso kFor details of Erauemfedt_5 rise_ tn Nazi_ power see RESEARCH SUPPLEMENT #117.)

This statement and his record, as a whole, eventually 1anded Frauenfeld in the Austrian concentration camp at Woellersdorf. No sooner had he been released than he repaired to Berlin and soon there- after -■• on February 22, 1936 (illustration on page 2) for the first time was mentioned as slated to take over the Nazi propaganda front in the United States. A similar rumor had cropped up on November 1st of 1934 (illus- tration on page 1). However, nothing came of Frauenfeld's contemplated trips to America, probably because they had received too much advance publicity. While sojourning in Berlin, Frauenfeld was appointed by Hitler member of the Reich Kultur Chamber.. As such* in June, 1935, about a year after DoL fuss' assassination, Doktor Goebbels made him managing director of the Reich Theatre Chamber. Frauenfeld now set himself the task of "organising", in ac- cordance with the program of the Reich Theatre Chamber, those connected with the German stage in one way or another. Authors, actors, producers, stage managers -- and indeed, all Thespians -- were henceforth to hold a different position since Aational Socialism had turned them into servants of the State and trustees in the field of art. Ever since, Frauenfeld has dabbled in theatricals. Indeed, he even wrote a book, currently advertised by the "German Art and Culture" 1) supple- ment to "News From Germany" 2). "Der Wog zur Hahne* (The road to the stags) by A.E.Pranemfeld, Publishers: W. Limpert Verlag, Berlin, Price: EN 4.80 (linen) "Mamy believe in their calling, but few are selected," could be the closing sentence of this book. Frauenfeldt, the manager of the Woks Chamber of Theatres, is raising the curtain and shows to all enthusiasts what is behind it. His discoveries are by no means deterrent but are showing a high sense of responsibility. From now on, nobody can say that he blindly ran into his fate because this book is a guide with pointers and warnings, such as all mental am& art professions should have.

At the begin- ning of the current year, he wrote what may be considered a thesis for his pend- ing promotion. The long-winded article, blistering with arrogance and ignor- ance, appeared in the January/February issue of Zettschrift fur Justice is best done to this article by reprinting excerpts from it. It is ;titled: AMERICA, TOMB OF GERMAN EMIGRANTS and, as a mdtto, carries the lines (illustration on this page):

We shall try to prove it: America's beginnings started with the Mayflower. The family of every American plutocrat secured the services of somebody to fabricate a famo- ily tree, and he was paid to prove that their forebears came to America in this Dutch emigrant vessel. In this connection, as we shall prove later on, it must be considered that, in the 16th century, Dutch was an- alogous to German.

Accordingly, the Mayflower is, in a manner of speech, Noah's Ark of the prominent inhabitants of "God's Own Uountry"....These pretenses of forebear-worshipping upper-crust Americans are neither new nor original. Moreover, in view of their antagonistic orientation towards the German- istic world, they are highly inconsistent, which is not so surprising. Only complete ignorance in the realm of history, and an astonishingly

Page 6. limited knowledge of the past, enables the New World to present its top layer with geneological proofs of still greater originality.

On page 17 of the article (illustration on this page), Frauenfeld, in the manner affected by Nazis ever since they became articulate, claims Carl Schurz as one of their own.

It was during this time that many German newspapers went out of existence, and clubs dissolved. Since the World War, the United States of America is without one single German high school. These can be found only farther in the North in Montreal, Canada, and in the South in Mexico City.

But the end of the war did not signify the end of the battle against Germandom. It flared up again to colossal heights when cre- ated a new Germany and declared war against Jewry. Page 70

Thus, Frauenfeld expresses himself in his thesis on America, proving him- self a Colin Ross 3) and a Hanna Johst 4) rolled into one. While the former wrote such pseudo-learned treatises about the United States as Unser Amerika and Der Balkan Amerikas, the latter blithely versified: America would be nothing, If we (Germans) were not Americans. Apparently, when, as and if Herr Frauenfeld sets his foot on United States soil, preparatory to laying the ground-work for another Anschluss, Hitler will expect him to fulfill Colin Ross' politiconomic preachings and Hanns Johst's "poetic" phantasies. After all, Frauenfeld has lived up to der Fahrer's most extravagant expectations in the past!
