| Text] Bonn / ADN}—The Federal Government has wel- comed US. President George Bust.’s Middle East disar- mamint initiative. At the federal press conference today. government spokesman Dieter Vogel said in this connec- ton that all measures that halt the transfer of conven- tional weapons and the prolifezation of weapons of mass destruction have the government's “unrestricted” approval and support

Vogel said that the FRG had long since renounced the manufacture and possession of nuclear, biological. and chemical weapons or having them at its disposal. It supported President Bush's appeal to use Middle East Slates 10 jorn the exrsting agrcement on biological weapons and to be the first to sign the convention on a worldwide ban on chemical weapons that 1s now being negotiated

The Federal Government strongly supports intensified international cooperation with the aim of worldwide eflective arms export controls, Vogel stressed. It will therefore press for rapid progress in this matter within the EC and certainly also at the world economic summit in London

Navy Chief Comments on Bundeswehr Issues

[Interview with Navy Inspector Vice Admiral Hans Joachim Mann by Hans-Hermann Tiedje, Vollrath von Heintze, and Lothar Schindlbeck: place and date not given]

[Text] [BILD] Constitutional experts say that the Bundeswehr could be used in UN missions also without a change in the Basic Law

{Mann] This is correct. However, in the Gulf war the situation would have been intolerable for our soldiers

GERMANY 1

They would have msked their lives and then read in the papers that the majority of our people thought this was unconstitutional

[BILD] At that time many soldiers card that they are afraid of a mission in the area of crisis

[Mann] Those who whined were an absolute mirority. It 1s simply not correct that the majorcty of Our troops are cry-bames—even though this impression might have arisen

[BILD] But more than 74.000 draftees refused to serve during the first four months of this year—thal 1s more than during the entire ycar of 1990. Was that not fear?

{Mann} I do not think so. The reason 1s thet the young men do nol see any particular sense mm: serving in the Bundeswehr at the moment. because the th zat from the East 1s gone. And this was the only reason for service in the Bundeswehr in the past

[BILD] Are there other reasons now”

[Mann] The Bundeswehr 1s an instrument for preventive defense and safeguarding against risks. For me this 1s a completely sufficrent legitimation. And I try to tell this to my soldiers

[BILD] There were 74,000 conscientious objectors within four months—how are things to continue”

[Mann] I do not know. I only know what 1s necessary. It i$ Necessary to get a political statement that ts as clear as possible, from the politicians of all big parties about the indispensability of the Bundeswehr also after the end of the Warsaw Pact

SPD Favors Bundeswehr Role in UN Forces LD3108082691 Hambure DPA in German O800 GM1 31] May 9]

[Text] Bremen (DPA)}—The Social Democratic Party [SPD] 1s in favor of German participation in peace- promoting actions by the United Nations

The SPD

Congress in Bremen supported with a large majority a relevant change to the Basic Law today. The SPD wants the deployment of German troops in “blue helmet” actions by the United Nations to be decided on an individual basis by the Bundestag. The Social Democrats strongly oppose any Bundeswehr participation in muili- lary operations outside the NATO sphere

The vote was preceded by several hours of cmotional debate yesterday evening. SPD Chairman Bjorn Eng- holm. Bundestag group chairman Hans-Jochen Vogel. and numerous other prominent Social Democrats strongly appealed to the delegates to allow participation in “blue helmet” action

These UN missions have nothing to do with military controntations but serve to prevent them and are thus in line with the SPD's peace aims. However, delegates on the left-wing, above all. capressed fears thal an amend- ment to the Basic Law could open the door to military operations by the Bundeswehr outside NATO

Bundeswehr Presence in Former GDR Airspace

if 300518559] Hambure DER SPIEGEL in German 27 May 91 pp 70-75

[Unattinbuted report: “Buffer im the Sky" ]

[Text] The Bundeswehr plans to ensure air sovercignty over castern Germany by itselfi—at the expense of civil aviation and against the vill of the Bonn coalition

Frequent fiyers in West and East Berlin cxaperienced their impotence for 40 years. Whenever generals or other prominent allied figures arrived by plane the civilian passengers had to wait. German authorities were unable to do anything about i

The arrogance of the military officials should have ended with the German unification. However, “the only thing that has changed 1s the color of the uniforms.” a depart- ment head of the Berlin transport senator says. Instead of the allies, the Bundeswehr now has a finger im the pre—tihe Berlin airspace

For weeks, the transport authority has been waiting for an application from the Lufiwafle to use the airspace The pilots intend to drop parachutists over the Spandau Lindenufer within the scope of an “inland publicity drive” of the Navy at the second weekend im June According to the air traffic law. the action requires the permission of the Berlin Senat

However, nobody asks the civilians. In the moilitary officials’ view, their show does not require a permission because it 1s “urgently necessary” to “fulfill sovereignty tasks.”

The Bonn coalition 1s annoyed at the generals’ arro- gance. The Christian Social Union [CSU] and the Free Democratic Party [FDP] plan to force Defense Minister Gerhard Stoltenberg, of the Christian Democratic Union [CD]. to keep to the coalitvon agreement of January

GERMANY

FBIS-WEU-91-105 31 May 1991

thes year. The agreement clearly says that the micrests of civil aviation mus. also have precedence over the inter- ests of military aviation in the former GDR. too

So far, Stoltenberg and his officers have failed to observe the political agreement. The Bundeswehr has already brought two thirds of the airspace over the new federal laender under its control, and the soldiers are increas- ingly present at civilian airports. The sicreotypical argu- ment that the Defense Ministry puts forward to explain to Transport Minit Guenther Krause (CDi) the reason for the military omnipresence im castern Cer- many 1S that after all, the military must react to the fact “that the GDR as a buffer” between the East and West “has ceased to exrst.”

The argument can hardly convince the Bonn civilians in tuumes of detente. FDP politician Ekkehard Gres, who 1s a member of the Bundestag Transport Commiuticc, ts in full agreement with the CSU on this rssuc: “We have a coalition agreement, which must be observed.”

An important term for transport politicians 1s “military air traffic control,” which has been gradually created in the old federal laender and works in paralicl with the civihan air traffic control—with considerable reduction in friction. No other country in the world has such a dual system where—following time-consuming consultations with the air traffic controllers—soldiers guide military planes through civilian airspace

In this way something 1s reduced which international aviation needs mosi—airspace capacity. In order to create more room im the sky over Germany. the Bonn government's parties therefore laid down 1n the coalition agreement “the integration of military air traffic control into the civilian organization.”

Practice 1s different. At a cost of milhons of marks, an “overall military air control system” 1s currently being sect up in the former GDR. allegedly in order to safeguard the security of the Sovect MiG aircraft that are still deploved in the former GDR

Because of the Soviet jets, the Bundeswehr was to take over the major part of the airspace im castern Germany until 1994 when the Sovicts have totally pulled out. That was agreed upon between the allies, Bonn, and East Berlin prior to the unification. However. internally. the air Strategists of the Bonn Defense Ministry frankly admit that the reason given for the development of a separate military air control system 1s not sensible. A working paper prepared by the Defense Ministry says that “it 1s mmpossible to bind the Soviets mto an air control system that 1s structured according to the Western model.”

The real reason for the extension of military air traffic control 1s given im another paper with file number 32-01-08: The establishment of an “overall air traffic control system” with radar and computers in casicrn Gsermany must be carned out “and include the deploy- ment of Bundeswehr fighter aircraft.” Stoltenberg

Honecker Said To Have Financed Neo-Nazis in West 40 3105 100291 Hambure BILD in German 31 Vay 9! ppi.4

[Report by Guenther D. Franke]

[Text] For years Ench Honecker and hes comrades contnibuted millions to financing nco-Nazis and ther newspapers im the West. Thes flirted with former Naz bigwigs. from Hitler Youth leaders to generals of the Waffen-SS. Thes beiped found ultra-rghtist organiza- ons im the FRG. This has been revealed by secret dossiers and strictly confidential archive files that arc available to BILD

For 40 years the GDR pretended to be the “bearer of the hanner of antifascism.” The FRG. on the other hand was the “abode of fascism” for the comrades m Pankow

The secret documents, which have turned up now. prove the real relatronship of the comrades in Pankow with the “fascists.” The Central Commutice of the Socialrst U nity Party of Germany [SED] even had former commanders of concentration camps work tor it. Honecker enthused about the Hitler Youth organization: “We have so many things im common.”

Originally. those pulling the strings were Walter Ulbricht, Otto Grotewohl, and Wilhelm Preck The organizer and paymaster: Erich Honecker. then chairman of the Central Counc! of the Free German Youth. GDR Press Cheef Albert Norden and Central Committee members Paul Verner and Hans Walden were also involved

The operation started as carly as 1951. A theses paper sand: “It os certainly possible and necessary to organize a unity front... with the former members of the Natrona! Socialist German Workers Party”

The reason for the newly discovered love The Commu. mists wanted to prevent the FRG from entering an alliance with the West

“For this purpose.” a document says. “the former Navis and Wehrmacht offices and ultra-rightist groups in the FRG are to be united and to be persuaded to pursuc a policy of neutralizing Germany ”

The second goal: “Toward other Western countries and within the FRG itself, the carstence of ultra-righinst organizations and press organs 1s to be used nm polrtical terms as proof of increasing neo- Nazism in the FRG

Then money started to flow

Thus, on 1951, 100,000 German marks [DM] went to DEL TSCHER BEOBACHTER l\Gserman (observer)

GERMANY s

(-aagazine of th, former Hitler Youth leaders). m 1952- $4. DM1.630,000 went to the ultra-nghust “DE! 'T- SCHE NATIONAL ZEITU NG [German National Ne~+- paper}. im 1954-55. another sum involving millhons went to the weekly DIE NATION [The Natron]

The milhons from Pankow were not for free DIE NATION had to stick to an edvtonal concept worked out by Albert Norden. In return. courcrs were pernuticd to g0 to Pankow every month to pick up bricicases full of cash

Hans Walden of the SED Central Commutice appomicd his “special confidant™ as cditorna’ head of the ultra- rightsst weekly. So far. this man had not carned any merit in a publeshing house, however, he had done so as head of a concentratron camp in the Third Rewh
