  • July 02, 1953 Transcript of the CPSU CC Plenum Meetings Regarding Beria’S Views on the German Question
    Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified July 02, 1953 Transcript of the CPSU CC Plenum Meetings Regarding Beria’s Views on the German Question Citation: “Transcript of the CPSU CC Plenum Meetings Regarding Beria’s Views on the German Question,” July 02, 1953, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, D. M. Stickle (ed.), The Beria Affair (New York: Nova Science Publishers, 1992), pp. 6-7, 22-23, 25-29, 44-45, 134-35. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/111311 Summary: Malenkov, Khrushchev, and Mologov express negative opinions about Beria’s proposals about the ‘German question,’ accusing him of sympathizing with the ‘imperialist’ side in his plan for a neutral Germany. Bulganin accuses Beria of threatening the positions of the current Ministers in the Presidium if they rejected his ‘bourgeois’ proposals. Original Language: Russian Contents: English Translation The First Session--2 July 1953 [....] Malenkov: Or another fact. The Government has been discussing the German question. There was talk of serious trouble in the situation in the GDR. We all concluded that the wrong policy in the GDR resulted in many mistakes. Among the German population there is great dissatisfaction, which is particularly obvious, since the population has begun to flee from East Germany to West Germany. Recently, for approximately the past 2 years, around 500,000 persons have escaped to West Germany. We explained to our German friends--and they completely agree--that in today's international situation we cannot lay a course to force them to build socialism in the GDR. Why did we come to this conclusion, and why do we feel that at the present time we should not set a course to force them to build socialism in the GDR? The analysis of the internal political and economic situation in the GDR, the mass flight of the population of East Germany to West Germany (around 500,000 have already fled!) quite obviously show that we have here the danger of an internal catastrophe.

  • Images of American Soldiers in Korea, 1950-1953
    Kilroy is Back: Images of American Soldiers in Korea, 1950-1953 Andrew J. Huebner In the early, dark days of the Korean War an anonymous American GI announced the return of a cultural hero: himself. The fictitious soldier "Kilroy," whose name had been scrawled on walls across every theater of World War II, reappeared in the deserted, war-torn town of Yechon, South Korea. Soldiers had written "Kilroy was here" during the last war; now, this weary GI scribbled "Kilroy is back."1 For a short time, the American fighting man would return to the position of cultural prominence he had attained in 1941-45. The new GI Americans met in popular magazines, photographic exhibits, and newsreels was in many ways a familiar figure. He wore the same uniform and fired the same weapons as he had in World War II. He also shared many of the attributes and miseries of the World War II citizen-soldier, particularly those represented in public imagery during the latter stages of that war. In other, subtler ways, however, the soldier in Korea journalists and others depicted was something of a changed man.2 Early in the Second World War American image-makers had created an idealized soldier for homefront audiences. Journalists Ernie Pyle, Hal Boyle, and Bill Mauldin joined newsreel producers, Hollywood filmmakers, and government propagandists at the Office of War Information (O WI) in celebrating the tough, dependable, patriotic GI.3 Mauldin's scruffy cartoon characters, Willie and Joe, were famous for their grumbling, but like the soldiers Pyle and Boyle 0026-3079/2004/4501-103$2.50/0 American Studies, 45:1 (Spring 2004): 103-129 103 104 Andrew J.
