Activities

A CIA memo from 1950 assesed that

"Socialists' attitude toward German rearmament-- US High Commissioner McCloy in Bonn has been assured by Carlo Schmid, a leader of the West German Social Democratic Party, that the Socialists would accept a Bundestag decision in favor of German military contributions to European defense, regardless of how small a majority such a decision obtained. According to Schmid, the Social Democratic Party would then cooperate loyally to make the contributions as effective as possible. Schmid added that the Social Democratic Party has for many months been in contact with three outstanding former German generals for the purpose of getting expert technical advice on the feasibility of the Socialist program for Western defense. (CIA Comment: Schmid's statements probably reflect the wishes of moderate Socialists, but the Social Democratic Party as a whole will continue to support firmly Socialist Chairman Kurt Schumacher's policy of opposing West German rearmament[2]
