DONOVAN After reading the expose re Hermann Plan, I IC 4to make the follosing observations. A. GENERAL The plan proposes conditions ofollaboration with the Allis.

We ao not disclose in our neotiutions sith the Hermann group our own p1.uis, and b. le do not rely on the assistance ?romised bI the Hermann group In formulating our plans. C1GBOUD - RI= 4 AND ALGO-SAXON I A The political inaground of Germany to-day is rather wellwahalyzed, but the following points could be omde TO clear: ft. Geraahy is torn between the Western and (ABiatic) avilizatione. This split permeates a! vi dates back to long before the Hitler WILA not able to overcoae this mording to the ox one, the only "aecided us op nentz of aziisa are divided into a Declassified and Approved For Release 2014/09/16: CIA-RDP13X0onn1 Prinnl nnytannn4 RDeclassified and Approved For Release 2014/09/16 : CIA- DP13X00001R000100460001-3 11111 4441,-4, Mte iroPsEC E I tar a western (pro-An6lo-Saxon) and an eastern (pro-Russian) wing. It is overlooked, however, that the split b(ittc.en , western arid eastern orientation is noticeable in the wilole Nazi ?art l and in all Nazi organizations. Even in the hi6hest rank t the Nazi officials, them were (and believe there are still to-day) men who favor alliunce with Russia. The "German friends of Rulwia" expect of course that once an alliance is concluded Germany, with her greater efficiency, wilL be able to ubsorb This orientation is based mainly on the theorj that Ger- mAny, having losts its chance to build an ovo'ncan em- pire, must seek compensation for its expanoionist ten- dencies in Russia with nor unlimited rpurces. I may, in this respect, refer to erofesz,or (Gurwral) Haushofor, well known here as a Leo-Politician, whone basic theory is that whoever dominates the "Heartland" (Europe and Asia) controls the world�the "Heurtituid" beini., the treatest unified island on this b. It is, of course, difficult to tell how Laportant UA the lehrmacht is the rosio.n oriQnted growp as tlompared tith the pro-Anglo-Saxon group, but L dare to question the corroztnese of the statement that "In the Wehmacht, the pro-Puseian orientation lo stronox than the western, and in the Luftwaffe the former is supreme This is a net development which must have ek:en caused by the amazin6 succols ot the ilusoitin Army and the Bussian Air liorce.

Apart from this negative aspect, the plan is rather vague as to the course to be follo%ed in order to get more vide5pread support In Germany.
