Political Intelligence Report Note by Sec. (JIC, SHAEF(45) 20 (Final))

1 May 1945

Attitude of the Educated Classes 5. Much of the above holds good for the educated classes. They, however, are more prepared to speculate about the future. They gloat about the difficulties which they allege are confronting the Allies in their dealings with the Russians and it is clear that, insofar as they are permitted to express an opinion, they will do all they can to poison Allied-Russian relations and play one off against another. The German generals in particular stress the danger of Communism partly because they inwardly fear the revenge which the Russians will take for the massacres which the Germans perpetrated in RUSSIA.
