The article presents a comment of the study conducted by psychiatrists E. Grünthal and G. E. Störing's case of organic amnesic syndrome. It questions the memory retention defects due to the symptoms reported by Grünthall and Störing's original paper on its theoretical and practical importance of the case. Carbon monoxide intoxication of the patient was the reason for both psychiatrists to conclude on the patient's emotional, temperamental and memory defects. However, professor H. Scheller re-investigated the case and doubted that organic amnesic syndrome was attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning since there was no similar case reported and no neurological signs in intoxication with severe psychiatric disturbance.

Unemployment begets psychological as well as economic problems. Much emphasis has been placed on its economic aspects; very little upon its psychological effects. It has remained for the psychology department of the University of Vienna, under the supervision of Professor Karl Bühler, and the Oesterreichische Wirtschaftspsychologische Forschungstelle, under the direction of Paul Lazarsfeld, to complete a comprehensive study of the effect of continued unemployment upon the worker himself. The stimulus to this investigation was the fact that Austria alone, with a total population of 6,500,000, has more than 500,000 unemployed, and that a like proportion is without work in Germany. Often an entire community is unemployed because the single industry which gave it support has been forced to close. Lazarsfeld chose as a typical example of such communities the village of Marienthal.

The story of the Free Germans of World War II is a case in point, and may offer some insights into Russian methods of psychological warfare. Moscow's wartime use of the National Committee of Free Germans and the League of German Officers is of particular interest for two reasons. First, these two bodies served as vehicles for harnessing German sentiments of nationalism to Russian policy. Second, this episode provides another instance in which Soviet policy-makers chose to abandon orthodox Marxist-Leninist doctrine when it fitted their needs. It is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the propaganda efforts of the Free Germans. It seems that they hoped at best to get the people to rise against Hitler and put an end to the war. The Russians were not blind to German psychology, and tended to promote rather than hinder the internal opposition against Hitler. However, as events showed, a mass rising against the Nazi government did not occur.

NAZI Germany, 1933-1945 -- Social conditions ,WORLD War II ,MILITARY offensives ,PSYCHOLOGY ,WAR ,ARMED Forces - Abstract
This article presents information on social conditions in Germany during the second world war. Ever since the autumn of 1942, when the German offensive came to a standstill at Stalingrad and the Allies landed in North Africa, the German leaders have known that they had lost their chance of victory. The depression that has seized the people as a result of this loss of hope has been intensified by deep-cutting changes in the daily life of every German family. Yet there is no panic in German cities and neutral observers speak rather admiringly of the discipline of the stricken population. The German soldiers fight on and fight well. This is the paradox of German morale.
