NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHERS The U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform,

1945-1949 represents a cooperative micropublishing endeavor between Congressional Information Service (CIS) of Bethesda, Maryland and Maruzen Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan. The primary objective of the project has been to identify, assemble, and publish on microfiche a collection of selected U.S. documents that record the planning and implementation of educational reforms during the Occupation of Germany. To make this collection as useful and accessible as possible, this finding aid volume has also been prepared.

The documents included in The US. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform, 1945-1949 were selected by Gary H. Tsuchimochi, Professor of Historical and Comparative Studies in Education, Toyo Eiwa Women's University, in a publishing arrangement with Maruzen Co., Ltd.

After having conducted extensive research in the United States, the editors have assembled a vast collection of documents relating to postwar educational reforms. In addition, Professor Tsuchimochi prepared an Editors' Note (p. iii) describing the context and significance of the documents selected.

In a cooperative agreement with Maruzen Co., CIS has con- ferred with the editors concerning document selections, assembled the selected documents, and filmed and produced the microfiche collection. CIS has also prepared the companion

Bibliography of Documents, Index by Subjects and Names, and Index by Document Numbers, and published this finding aid volume.

Companion Microfiche Collection The U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform,

1945-1949 Microfiche Collection contains a full text microfiche copy of each publication listed in the Bibliography of Documents (beginning on p. 1 of this volume). The full texts of documents have been reproduced on silver halide film, in negative polarity, at reduction ratios of 24:1 and 26:1. Eye-visible targets and eye-legible headers are included.

Documents in the microfiche collection are identified and organized by document accession numbers corresponding to accession numbers in the Bibliography of Documents.

Every effort has been made to enhance the image quality of the microfiche produced from the highly variable source documents (which range from printed books to third carbons of memos) included in this collection. In instances where filmed copies were judged illegible, CIS-prepared typewritten tran- scriptions have been provided.

NOTE FROM THE EDITORS

I. Materials in the United States Pertaining to Education during the Occupation of Germany

Research on postwar educational reform in Germany and Japan using U.S. official records has increased significantly in the last few years. In particular, the research effort funded by grants from the Japanese Ministry of Education's Scien- tific Research Funds for Overseas Projects and led by Hideo Satow of the National Institute for Educational Research of Japan has been making notable progress in collecting materials in the United States on educational reform during the Occupa- tion of Japan. A selection of these documents are to be found in Educational Reform in Japan, 1945-1952, Part 1, a microfiche document collection and finding aid published by Congres- sional Information Service and Maruzen in 1990.

Paralleling the acceleration of research on post-war educational reform in Japan, research in the United States concerning the reform of German education during the Occupation has also been progressing rapidly. At present, with the elimina- tion of the Berlin Wall and other radical changes taking place, the attention of the entire world is focused on Eastern Europe. This is extremely meaningful for historians interested in German education reforms under U.S. Occupation. In the light of current events, and because the Occupation marked the beginning of the postwar period, this interest will doubtlessly intensify.

The quantity of materials in the United States relating to the Occupation of Germany is extraordinarymuch exceeding that relating to the Occupation of Japan, which suggests the importance the U.S. placed on Germany. Moreover, the United States has been more liberal than the other three occupying nations, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, in opening its archives on the Occupation of Germany to historians. The British have only recently begun to grant access to their records, the French resolutely maintain their fifty-year rule, and the Soviets have never announced a schedule of public access to documents on the Occupation.

The materials in the United States are relatively well organized, despite the fact that current efforts to renumber and rebox them to improve access are proceeding slowly. The majority can be located at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Washington, D.C., and its associated Washington National Records Center (WNRC) in nearby Suitland, Maryland.

These facilities are enormous, and house documents covering over two centuries. There are hundreds of millions of pages of data, six million photographs, five million maps and diagrams, 100,000 films, and 80,000 voice recordings.

Of course, there are regulations and restrictions governing use of these official documents, and entrance to the premises is strictly regulated. However, these documents are available to all historians, and can be copied as needed. Therefore, at present, NARA and WNRC are the most promising archival

collections for historians of the German Occupation. The objective of this project has been to mine this resource

to provide to researchers the core primary materials they themselves would locate in a visit to these archives.

The resource is prodigious. For example, all documents, including "The Report of the U.S. Education Mission to Ger- many (3-A-1080) and ' 'The Report of the U.S. Social Studies Committee to Germany" (3-A-467), are held at the WNRC. Significantly, "The Report of the U.S. Social Studies Com- mittee to Germany" is one of the "phantom reports" which has not been made public to this day, but is a primary source

^regarded as critical to future research on the introduction of social studies in postwar Germany. Important primary source documents like the above have been preserved in WNRC, despite lack of public knowledge of their existence.

11. The Features of the Collection

The volume of U.S. educational materials relating to Ger- many is truly and extraordinarily abundant, making it impos- sible to describe details of the contents in a single essay. Repeatedly, however, they illustrate that the U.S. Government's education policies in Germany and Japan were not unrelated, but rather were part of an overall policy and diplomatic strategy. Many parallels can be seen when searching through the materials.

As one part of his own study of postwar education reforms in Japan, the editor was interested in researching documents related to the U.S. Education Mission to Japan, March 1946. As a related matter, the editor also focused on researching the U.S. Education Mission to Germany, August 1946, with particular reference to the details of its formation and of the way reports were prepared in comparison with Japan. Since originals or reproductions of materials relating to the Occupa- tion of Germany have not been available in Japan, the editor found it necessary to travel to the United States several times to research and collect the documents at NARA. Due to the sheer volume and the lack of organization of the documents, it took considerable time to find the relevant materials. However, once the editor did find these ' 'treasures" he became their "prisoner."

The relevant educational documents housed at NARA in the Civil Affairs Division of the War Department which deal with Germany, Japan and Korea, are grouped together under the same category, and therefore research on these countries can be carried out simultaneously. The editor is not an expert on German education, but, upon seeing this treasure trove of important primary source documents, he felt that he should make them available to other researchers. Hence, the origin of this collection.

In compiling the collection the editor has tried to remove editorial bias, and worked hard to collect these materials as comprehensively as possible and to retain them in archival

U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform iii

order to the greatest degree possible. Many special collections are comprised of documents that

have been used by a researcher in a particular area, and may reflect the perspective of his or her research. However, this collection attempts to be a complete compilation of all original documents house in NARA and WNRC relevant to German postwar educational reforms. It has been prepared with the objective of enabling and encouraging research by others. This objective has framed the editors' attitude toward this collection and its features.

As the first compilation of original U.S. documents on this particular topic to be made available to researchers other than those with access to NARA facilities, its importance, par- ticularly to researchers outside the United States, is obvious. They will be able to fully and closely examine all original source documents as necessary.

The editor encourages others to conduct research on postwar German education using this collection. As an editor, he feels that materials have no inherent value if they are inac- cessible. Rather, they are given "value" when users can use them properly. The comprehensive scope of collection inclu- sions, and the maintenance of original archival order of documents, combined with the explanatory notes below, and the subject index and chronological list in this finding aid for the collection are offered as measures to assure proper access.

III. The Structure of the Collection

U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform, 1945-1949, covers educational reforms from the planning stage through implementation. Some of the planning documents are actually dated as early as 1943. The documents have been divided into the following sections:

1-A, State Department; 1-B, Office of Political Advisor to the U. S. Ambassador

(POLAD); 2-A, War Department Civil Affairs Division; 3-A, Office of Military Government for Germany, United

States (OMGUS) materials relating to educational reforms carried out in Bavaria; and

3-B, OMGUS Records relating to Bremen. A planned Part 2 will include OMGUS Records for Hesse, Wurttemberg-Baden, and for the U.S. Sector in Berlin.

The following describe features of each group of records, including comment on similar records available with respect to the Occupation of Japan.

1-A. State Department Records The State Department records at NARA are available to

historians from anywhere in the world on an equal basis. In the past, access to these documents had been restricted. In some cases only parts of a document could be copied, and the contents of the copies were strictly checked by State Depart- ment Officials. Now, however, not only have these restrictions been lifted, but copying by researchers directly from original documents is also permitted.

The State Department records which are filed under Record Group (RG) 59, comprise 19,000 cubic feet covering the period from 1910 to 1963, and include the following categories of documents: State Department diplomatic documents; documents from other government agencies; documents

relating to foreign governments; and the president of the United States.

State Department records for this period are filed accord- ing to a detailed decimal numbering system that identifies each document by subject and date. For example, in the number 862 before the decimal point, the 8 indicates diplomatic documents and the 62 is a country code, in this case Germany. Numbers after a decimal point represent various detailed subject breakdowns such as political, constitutional, military, social, economic and financial, industrial, transportation, and communication issues. For example, ".42" represents reeducation problems. Thus, diplomatic documents relating to Ger- man reeducation are categorized under 862.42. State Depart- ment diplomatic records concerning reeducation in Japan are located under 892.42, 92 before the decimal being the country code for Japan. Finally, numerals following a slash (/) indicate the date the item was received.

A typical reference is "U.S. National Archives, Record Group 59, U.S. Department of State, Decimal File 862.42/5-1446, Office Memorandum, From Speier to Ander- son. Subject: Education Mission to Germany." The decimal reference indicates that the document is a diplomatic record related to German reeducation received May 14, 1946. This particular document (l-A-36) is of special interest because it includes "Background Material on Mission" which explains that the idea of a mission to Germany grew out of the earlier mission to Japan during which William Carr of the National Education Association proposed a similar mission to Germany.

The assignment of decimal file numbers is not entirely con- sistent, and in many cases documents went from one department to another, but the original date they were received remains. However, the system provides a rough guideline for identifying pertinent documents. State Department records concerning Japan comprise 65 boxes, while those relating to Germany total 187 boxes.

In addition, documents relating to World War II from 1939 on are grouped under 740.0011. At the end of these numbers, sometimes yet another digit is added along with subject terms further describing the document. For example, 740.00119 Con- trol (Germany) covers documents relating to the control of Germany, while 740.00119 Control (Japan) relates to Japan in the same way. For Germany, there are 174 boxes which fall under this heading, while for Japan, there are 20 boxes.

Important documents of the State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC) which deal with Occupation policy are also included in this section. The Committee was established in December 1944 as an organ for coordinating, as its title suggests. Adjustments in both political and military aspects and the basic Occupation policy were actually determined here. In 1947, the Air Force was added, and the name was changed to the State-Army-Navy-Air Force Coordinating Committee (SANACC) accordingly. SWNCC 269 contains records relating to reeducation in Germany. For example, SWNCC 269/5, "Long-Range Policy Statement on German Reeduca- tion" (l-A-229), is a basic document on the U.S. Education Mission to Germany.

223 items on educational documents have been selected from the State Department records.

1-B. POLAD Records POLAD (Ambassador Robert Murphy's Office of the

Political Adviser) had a direct channel to the Office of Military Government for the Occupation of Germany. The equivalent

iv U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform

function in Japan was performed by MacArthur's political adviser, Assistant Secretary of State George Atcheson, Jr., who was in Japan to give current reports on Japan to the State Department as needed.

POLAD records are in NARA, located in Record Group 84 in the decimal file system. All education materials can be found in POLAD's decimal number 842. For example, 1945 POLAD education materials are preserved in Box 734 of 842, while 1946 POLAD education materials are in Box 758, and 1947 POLAD are in Box 817. There are fewer POLAD records than OMGUS records, but they are very important because POLAD had the function of directly contacting both the State Department and OMGUS.

From these records, 40 items have been selected.

2. War Department Records We can broadly divide the War Department records stored

at NARA into two categories: United States and occupied Japan and Germany. In Washington, the Civil Affairs Divi- sion (CAD) of the War Department was mainly responsible for dealing with the occupied territories. The CAD was established in 1943.

The War Department used a different decimal system than the State Department. The CAD files at NARA are located in WDSCA 350 within Record Group (RG) 165. All education documents for occupied countries where the War Depart- ment was involved, including Japan, Korea, and Germany, are located in WDSCA 350.

The material is, for the most part, arranged in chronological order. However, it is important that researchers view each document to ascertain the contents. For example, the document titled "RG 165, WDSCA 350 (Education), Letter, WillardE. Givens to Henry L. Stimson' ' (2-A-860), is marked to indicate that it was received on June 14,1945. Actually, this letter was sent by Willard E. Givens, Secretary of the National Educa- tion Association and a future member of the U.S. Education Mission to Japan, March 1946, to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson while Japan was still at war. The letter concerns the dispatching of an education mission to Germany.

As the War Department was the organ which implemented Occupation policy, there are many records from schools included. An index heads each volume.

854 items have been selected from War Department educational documents 1943-1949.

3. Office of Military Government for Germany, United States (OMGUS) Records

These records consist of documents related to the Occupa- tion of Germany including those of the Supreme Head- quarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) and the Of- fice of Military Government for Germany, United States (OMGUS). For Japan, the equivalent would be the American Forces, Pacific (AFPAC) and the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP). Among these, MGS and SCAP records should prove invaluable for research on the Occupa- tion. All of these records are now open to researchers.

In particular, the OMGUS records are extremely important. The volume of this material, which is much greater than either the State Department or the War Department records, con- sists of 10,000 cubic feet of documents and several hundred rolls of microfilm, located in WNRC. This material was first shipped there in 1970, and the records were opened to historians in 1974.

In West Germany, the Institut fur Zeigeschichte began preliminary research in the fall of 1975 on OMGUS records. In the fall of 1976, they began a three-year project to select, inventory, and microfilm the records. The plan only included historical research and the publication of materials relating to the Occupation of Germany. In the end this project only microfilmed about 1/5 of the OMGUS records. It is not nearly so large as the parallel project which the National Diet Library of Japan is undertaking now.

This huge quantity of materials is not adequately cataloged. The vast majority of the material even now carries the same shipping number as when it was transferred from Germany in 1951. For example, the document titled "OMGUS 308-1/5, Memo, Taylor to IA&C Division for Caly, 29 April 1946," shows that this document was held in Shipload No. 5, Box No. 1, Locker No. 308. This memo (3-A-468) was sent by John W. Taylor, Chief of the Education and Religious Affairs Branch, Office of Military Government of Germany to General Clay, Deputy Military Governor, Office of Military Government for Germany. In the memo, Taylor reports to General Clay that dispatching a U.S. Education Mission to Germany is not necessary.

Currently, the archivists are renumbering and reboxing all of these documents, but reference to the original numbering system is still necessary for locating materials. With improved access to OMGUS records, future researchers will be able to look more deeply into the activities of the OMGUS. At present, the records are not being fully utilized.

The following document (3-A-469) is an example of the OMGUS records: "OMGUS, Box 74, Education and Cultural Relations Division, Records of the Education Branch, Cultural Exchange & Schools: Ship List 300-2/5 Cont. No. 4014, Report of the United States Social Studies Committee to Germany, Submitted to Dr. John W. Taylor, Chief of the Education Religious Affairs Branch, for the use of the Office of Military Government for Germany (United States), April 1947."

Education reforms were undertaken separately in each province, and the course of reform sometimes varied widely. Where successful, the changes introduced included everything from when classes began and the length of holidays, to curriculum content and teacher training. The current collection includes sections on educational reform in Bavaria and Bremen.

Bavaria and Bremen represent two quite different reform experiences. While the Office of Military Government with the help of the German Social Democratic Party was general- ly able to implement a program of democratic school reform patterned on the U.S. model with separate tax-supported and church-operated school systems, this did not happen everywhere.

In Bavaria, public financing of denominational schools had a long history and enjoyed considerable popular support. The U.S. Military Government selected Franz Fendt, a progressive Social Democrat, to become Bavarian Minister of Education and Reform with the expectation that he would be able to stall the reestablishment of state-support for denominational schools. However, in December 1946, a new Bavarian Constitu- tion was drafted incorporating traditional principles regarding rehgious education, and in the same month, the conservative Christian Social Union triumphed in local elections and arch- traditionalist Alois Hundhammer became Minister of Educa- tion. Subsequent attempts at American-style educational reform in Bavaria were largely frustrated by local opposition.

From the 13 boxes of materials dealing with education in Bavaria, 435 items have been selected for Section 3-A, in-

U.S. Occupation of Germany: Educational Reform v

eluding many important documents dealing with the reopening of German schools and actual conditions at the schools.

Included in Section 3-B, are 532 selections from the 43 boxes of education materials about Bremen where educational reform progressed more nearly as U.S. administrators planned. Of the many types of U.S. Military Government records, the 12 boxes of detailed monthly, weekly, and daily reports, reports on special topics are the most important, and a signifi- cant portion of them are included here.

As mentioned above, educational reforms in Germany were carried out separately in each province. Through the documents on Bavaria and Bremen, it is possible to become familiar with the actual practice of implementing educational reforms in occupied Germany. The collection as a whole facilitates overall research into these educational reforms and it is hoped that, together with the companion collection on Educational Reform in Japan, these documents will permit researchers to study objectively this aspect of U.S. occupation policy.

In closing, the editor would like to acknowledge the kind assistance of Dr. James F. Tent, Professor of History, Univer- sity of Alabama at Birmingham, who not only helped me to locate documents at the National Archives, but also permitted the use of his POL AD materials in the preparation of this collection. Dr. Tent is an expert on educational reform in U.S.- Occupied Germany and a historian who has extensively used these documents.
