Socialist Workers' Party of Germany
In November 1942 a committee was set up to elaborate a common peace plan for post-war Europe. Paul was the chairman of the committee, Brandt (who was a member of both the Norwegian Labour Party and the German socialist diaspora) its secretary. Other members of the committee were Gunnar Myrdal (Sweden), Ole Jödahl (Sweden, foreign affairs editor of "Aftontidningen" and "Tiden"), Martin Tranmæl (Norway), Tarnow, Vilmos Böhm (Hungary), István Szende (Hungarian, member of the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany), Jiří Jakerle (head of the Club of Czechoslovak Socialists), Maurycy Karniol (lawyer, representative of the Polish Socialist Party in Scandinavia), Jules Guesde (Press Attaché of the Stockholm delegation of the French Committee of National Liberation) and Bruno Kreisky (chairman of the Club of Austrian Socialists in Sweden). The International Group of Democratic Socialists hoped that peace in Europe would be achieved in different ways that the Treaty of Versailles, seeking to strengthen cooperation in post-war Europe.
