At the time it had a circulation of 80,000. Hugo Erlich was named as the editor in chief of Freies Volk. Publication of Freies Volk was suspended by the Allied occupation authorities in August 1950, following the article "Now It's Tanks and Poison Gas instead of Cigarettes | Bonn as Go-Between in US Arms Trade". Publication of the newspaper was resumed in November 1950. In 1951 Franz Ahrens became the editor in chief of Freies Volk. In mid-1954 Fritz Bäsel was appointed editor in chief of the newspaper. Soon thereafter he was replaced by Max Schäfer, a key ideologue of the party. Schäfer remained in that post until the party was banned. By 1955 the daily circulation had decreased to 48,000. After the ban of the Communist Party on 17 August 1956, Freies Volk continued publication as an illegal weekly organ of the now underground party. As of 1970 Freies Volk was still being published, albeit irregularly and being edited and printed outside of West Germany. (en) |
