1938. Tetens, T. H.. The New Germany and the Old Nazis. NY: Random House, 1961, stated first printing, 286pp., very good dust-jacket with photo of author, very good black cloth, previous owner's inscription, $30
A grim picture of Germany in the 1950s, where Nazi sympathies linger just under the surface and the line between war criminals and government ministers is arbitrary. Tetens argues that Adenauer's fear for the decline of the CDU led him to reach out to the right, cover-up his advisors' past, and pressure the Americans and British for lenience towards war criminals. With journalistic style and the zeal of an exposé Tetens warns about German society. Interesting today less for its shock value than for its eyewitness quality, which reminds us that Germany did not suddenly change in 1945, nor did the effects of Nazi ideology simply disappear when the propaganda stopped.
