I do not know whether it has been made available. The information in it seems to me interesting in itself and valuable for what it suggests in terms of further activities.KBH02.75

# 13 March 1950Report on Distribution of Der Honat through an Exemplary Cutlet1.  This describes the distribution activities of a single outlet, with connections primarily but not exclusively to students in the Sorist Zone. Since December 1949 the cutlet has been supplied 1115 sale copies and several hundred separate articles. At first single issues were, supplicä in numbers of 100, but because of rapidly increasing demand was later increased to 150 copies. However, the popularity of Der Monat has spontaneously led to a broader range of possibilities and a total of at least 330 coples fer issue has been requested. To provide a total of so many copies from number 8/2 to 16 inclusive will mein a further delivery of 1575 copies. A few copies of mumbers 5, 6 & 7 have been delivered as well as staplei single copies of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and other articles taken by breaking un these same issues. Distribution has been free of charge and this has been emphasized to the contacts. It has been decided, however, to permit.contacts to ask a nominal East Mark price when dis- tributing a copy to an employed person. This would help cover the travel expenses of contacts to and from Berlin.2.  Peactions to Der Monat delivery through this outlet has been overamelmingly encouraging. Each copy is said to change hands "at least" eight or nine times and as many as twenty tire s is considered usual. The result is that Der Monat has become widely known among students in the Eastern Zone. It is reported that it is even read openly in the mess-halls; SED stüdents procure it and read it, although when on their om they are said to be more secretive than the non-communist organized student. Certain articles have become icely knowm, particularly Graell's 14". An explanation of where the magazines come from is given in the following terms: they are bought for SOZON students by the Free University. It is generally accepted in the Soviet Zone that the Free University is the source of "anti- communist stüdent agitations" etc. Persons connected with the Free University who come in contact with East Zone students state that they are being continuously asked for coples of Der Monat, in the sense of "I've been getting it seventh hand; I'd like to get it first hand."
[104-10174-10071.pdf — page 315]
3. Attention was continuously drawn to the popularity of Orwell's "1984". Hence the outlet asks whether it would be possible to make-up from broken minders single stapled copies of "184" recalling that this had been done for them in the case of *Animal Farm* and other articles.4. The cutlet operates through an apparatus of couriers to all universities of the Soviet Zone. Universities are supplied by as many as four and an average of three different couriers, unknown to one another. Leipzig, Halle, Cera, Greifswald, Dresden and Rusteek are thus covered. There are a large number of delivery contacts at the Hunsoldt University. Also there are contacts to the "Landes Hochschule in Potsdam which is designed especially for training SSD functionaries, teachers, and key occupations. Couriers from other academic institutions and circles are also supplied, as well as to a number of non-academic circles of significant strategic value, as described below.5. The following examples are cited:a) At a recent four-zonal meeting of evangelical student-ministers from all zones fifteen copies were distributed to several SZ delegates. More could not be furnished because of lack of supplies at that time. The recipients-subsequently expressed such interest that regular delivery with a large number of copies has been established. The Karl Jaspers article was considered popular in this circle, and strong curiosity was expressed regarding "198" which was being discussed in the zone.b) A professor of journalism at one Soviet-Zone university approached a contact for the copies, promising to make good use of them. He asked that they be supplied regularly and sent a student from Leipzig to confirm this and pick them up. Both student's and professor were checked upon and the delivery made.c) A group of liberal and social-democratic students organized in the SED cooperate in a closed working-committee is recognized by the university as an academic activity of the faculty to which these students and professor belong. Monat articles are real and discussed and then translated into non-German languages and passed on as reading matter to trusted students in other sections of the Philosophical Faculty.d) The CDC executive in a city in Saxony receives the magazine, using it as discussion material regularly at closed educational forums for training party functionaries. Three weeks age the article *Tito contra Stalin* was discussed.
[104-10174-10071.pdf — page 316]
e) Until recently a FDJ school for higher functionaries in Kecklenburg near the zonal border was supplied with copies of *Der Monat* which were read officially as the basis for working out counter-arguments. The connection was broken by the arrest of the courier, who was carrying *Telegraf* leaflets.f) Twenty copies are regularly supplied for distribution to and through a Volkspolizei unit in Thuringia.6. The outlet expresses great satisfaction with *Monat* distribution, considers it the ideal kind of reading for equipping oppositional students in the Soviet Zone with relatively safer and strategically suitable weapons, e.g. "ideas" and the "spirit of Europe". *Der Monat* is often contrasted with the *Telegraf* in this sense: *Der Monat* is not considered to exaggerate, is not the other pole, "with the truth somewhere between", but is respected and trusted for itself.
