When TIME reappeared on German newsstands two months ago after seven years' absence, Journalist Peter Weidenreich thought that the blow ought to be softened. A native Berliner who left Germany for the U.S. about the time Hitler's Wehrmacht moved into Austria, became a naturalized American citizen, served with SHAEF's Psychological Warfare Division (as radio commentator and editor of German-language newspapers) in the late war, Weidenreich figured that TIME would be a stiff jolt for Germans accustomed to the controlled misinformation of Herr Gocbbels' press.

Drawing heavily on his faith in democracy, not unmixed with political naivete, Adamic hoped that "qualified" U.S. citizens, descended from the stock of soon-to-be liberated countries, would work a sort of return passage to Europe. Trained and formed into teams, they would be sent into Germany, Austria, Rumania, etc., as soon as Hitler fell, partly to lead the countries out of their difficulties, partly to keep "undesirable" political elements from seizing control...
