Hitler Lives

Meanwhile, in face of a weakened and divided occupation, the Nazi element got cheeky. Burchett describes the middle-class Frauleins whispering in the ears of their British officer bedmates, whipping up old hostilities with Nazi myths of "Jewish Bolshevism."

Yesterday the united strength of the United Nations defeated Nazism. Today Nazism has won a moral victory by the division of that strength into opposing blocs. And Nazism is taking full advantage of that split, to demand the remilitarisation of Germany under Nazi leaders.

"The possible rearmament of Western Germany—in spite of all the dangers of extreme nationalism and the lessons of the past—was soon to form one of the great questions raised by the Atlantic Pact," said Davidson. (p. 235).

In 1951 the question has gone further than possibility. In his pamphlet "Once Again?" Davidson describes individual instances of the resurgence of Nazism—from the desecration, of the Wermelskirchen memorial to the working-class victims of Nazism, to the inflammatory anti-Semitic speeches of the "Socialist Reich" Party.
