Why was the West German Communist Party banned in 1956, only 11
years after it had emerged from Nazi persecution? Although
politically weak, the postwar party was in fact larger than its
Weimar predecessor and initially dominated works councils at the
Ruhr pits and Hamburg docks, as well as the steel giant, Krupp.
Under the control of East Berlin, however, the KPD was sent off on
a series of overambitious and flawed campaigns to promote national
unification and prevent West German rearmament. At the same time,
the party was steadily criminalized by the Anglo-American
occupiers, and ostracized by a heavily anti-communist society.
Patrick Major has used material available only since the end of the
Cold War, from both Communist archives in the former GDR as well as
western intelligence, to trace the final decline and fall of the
once-powerful KPD.
