This work explores the experiences of Hans Werner Richter and
Alfred Andersch, authors who served in the German army during World
War II, were captured by U.S. forces, and enlisted into a secret
program to promote American democracy to their fellow POWs while
imprisoned in the United States. Upon repatriation, they brought
their experiences with the POW publication Der Ruf back to Germany,
where they founded a periodical of the same name. Having grown
disillusioned with the American occupation, the authors' stark
criticisms of U.S. policies led to their dismissal from the second
Der Ruf after only fifteen issues. This study attempts to
understand their journey from acceptance and endorsement of
American democratic ideals to disappointment and opposition to U.S.
occupation policies. This transition played a crucial role in the
foundation of the most influential West German literary circle:
Group 47, organized a few months after the authors' dismissal.
