(GOTTFURCHT, Hans. (Chair). World War II) The Trade Unions in a New Germany. Some Observations on the problem of economic and social reconstruction of Germany and the recreation of the Trade Union Movement. Published by the Trade Union Centre for the German Workers in Great Britain. February 1944. [++] 10"x 8", 8pp. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their small "Pamphlet Collections" rubber stamp and 10mm perforated "LC" on the front and a surplus rubber stamp on the rear wrapper. Mimeographed. Staple-bound, wrappers. [++] "Hans Gottfurcht (7 February 1896 18 September 1982) was a German trade unionist and resistance member. Born to a Jewish family in Berlin, Gottfurcht worked in the textile industry, joining a trade union when he was 17. In 1919, he began working full-time for the Central Association of Employees. In 1933, the Nazis closed the unions, and Gottfurcht became an insurance agent. This enabled him to create an illegal trade union organisation in Saxony, Thuringia and Silesia. He was arrested in 1937 and charged with treason, but was released due to a lack of evidence, and in 1938, he was able to emigrate to the United Kingdom. In the UK, Gottfurcht joined the Labour Party and tried unsuccessfully to influence British government policy on Germany after the war. He also joined the Union of German Socialist Organisations in Great Britain. He was briefly interned in 1941, but on release set up an organisation of German trade unionists, and broadcast on the German language programmes of the BBC. He was able to help plan the future structure of German trade unions."--Wikipedia. [++] WorldCat locates only 6 copies (in spite of five entries for this work).…
