“The Socialist Control Room . Leaves for Critically Active Socialism ”(SW) was a magazine in exile and was published from May 1934 to May 23, 1940 as the direct successor of the“ isk - Mitteilungsblatt des Internationale Sozialistische Kampfbund ”. In contrast to the Reinhart letters published during the same period, complete anonymization was dispensed with and instead widely published under a pseudonym . The background information smuggled out of Germany was regularly evaluated by the secret services of the Western Allies and the National Socialists , among others .
Historical background
Even before Hitler came to power, the ISK developed a lively publication activity in the French, British and US-American language areas. Four magazines later appeared in exile in Paris alone. The ISK founded a publishing house in Paris, the Éditions Nouvelles Internationales (ENI), as the successor to the Public Life Publishing House . Again, Willi Eichler acted as editor.
From May 1934 onwards, the Sozialistische Warte appeared monthly. From March 15, 1936, it appeared every two weeks, from October 15, 1937 until the outbreak of World War II, it was published weekly. After that, it was changed back to a bi-weekly publication due to difficulties both in recruiting new employees and in mail sales; in addition, the first problems with the paper supply arose. After the attack by the German Wehrmacht on Holland and Belgium, the Socialist Watchdog was completely shut down, and the last edition appeared on May 23, 1940.
The average print run was 2000 copies, some of which were printed on Bible paper for camouflage, with a special envelope ("Voice of the Time") and changed headlines. The magazine remained a grant business until the end, as a large part of the circulation had to be given free of charge. New subscribers were difficult to acquire during this period, and a functioning sales network was not available.
Under the pseudonyms Werner Buchholz, Ernst Friesius and Martin Hart, Willi Eichler wrote many leading articles, but also other small articles. From March 1936, the Socialist Watchdog received the Free Socialist Tribune discussion forum . That should open the magazine to non-members of the ISK, such as the writer Kurt Hiller .
The Socialist Control Center and its supplement, Free Socialist Tribune, were collected together and continuously for each year of publication. The German Library scanned all of its editions from 1998 to 2003.
Publications
The years of the magazine were numbered consecutively in continuation of the previous magazine isk and with “9.” to “15. Year "(1934 to 1940). Only the first six issues of the 1934 year were named “I. Year "before it is then from issue 7 of the 1934" 9. Vintage "was called.
