Communism in Germany fades as US influence grows
In Heidelberg and Frankfurt, Western Germany shows waning Communist reach amid a broader postwar recovery. Marshall Plan aid, Korea’s victory impact, and unified democratic defense bolster resistance, while Voice of America and press counter the Reds. Ruhr miners and locals push Moral Rearmament against communism as McCloy, Handy, and Atchison’s MDAP ideas gain support. German labor leaders like Fritz Heske repudiate communism. Local agricultural notes and family visits punctuate a broader rebuilding scene.
