Abstract
Description
Enclosures: Nos. 187 and 189. Commissioner of Commerce, Dr. [Otto] Wagener, ordered all so-called "fighting organizations" (Kampfbuende) in the commercial field dissolved except the Kampfbund des gewerblichen Mittelstandes, which has been chief offender in interfering with business; Kampfbund will not give up its existence or aims without a struggle; Dr. Von Rintelen, its titular head has moderate views, but Dr. Sohns, the active head, is decidedly radical; Sohns at odds with Ministers Goering and Goebbels because they had countermanded his orders; leaders of the Party moderating their views on economic and other matters, but intermediate leaders and masses remain unchanged; encloses memoranda of interviews with Dr. Sohns and Dr. Wienbeck.
