Louis Proyect: What defeat are you talking about? Hitler took power in 1933 and threw all the CP'ers into concentration camps. Those who avoided this fate worked in a very weak underground. It was military force that defeated Hitler unless I don't get your point. Ken Hiebert: I was thinking of the military defeat of Germany. It is my understanding that CP militants were able to send information to the Soviet Union. This does not take away from your point that the German CP was for the most part crushed and survived only in a much weakened state. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
