jects was disseminating anti-
Nazi leaflets to the German
public and making mobile
radio broadcasts, appealing
to the enemy to surrender.
The men worked under few
restraints except harsh con-
ditions inevitable with war,
Dr. Sweet said. He re-
members Christmas day
1944 when he was staying in
a house with virtually no
heat. The only heater was in
a small bathroom in the
home. That night, when he
had to write his report, Dr.
Sweet set the toilet seat
down and went to work.
In 1945, Dr. Sweet return-
ed to Austria, where he
began an analysis of the new
provisional government and
its potential success with the
Austrian people.
Among the most troubling
aspects of the new Austria
was the Soviets' demand to
control as much of the coun-
try as possible, Dr. Sweet
said. The Soviets proposed
joint Soviet-Austrian control
of Austrian oil fields, always
giving themselves 51 per-
cent of the shares.
The Americans preferred a
"hands-off" approach, Dr.
Sweet said. Once certain the
Nazis had been removed
from any posts of power
(many had been executed in
the Soviet Union), the
Americans preferred to "let
the process take its course,"
though they were not eager
for Austria to fall into Soviet
hands, Dr. Sweet said.
This conflict in approaches
regarding the rebuilding of
Europe contributed greatly
to the Cold War, he said.
The new provisional
government represented a
final break from the Nazis,
but still Austria in 1945 was
a country besieged by prob-
lems, Dr. Sweet said. He
called the nation's citizens
"emotionally spent" and
remembers one elder
statesman, overwhelmed by
the turmoil, breaking into
tears.
Vienna before the war had
been a city of cafes, where
guests sat at elegant tables
of sweets, pots of tea and
jugs of rum. After the war,
"there were still cafes," Dr.
Sweet said. "But then it was
ersatz tea and ersatz rum."
The city was teeming with
foreigners and Holocaust
survivors. Many survivors
still wore their striped
uniforms from the death
camps.
Few citizens in Austria,
"which had as many Nazis
as Germany," or in Ger-
many were eager to confront
the issues of the war, Dr.
Sweet said.
Once, he and his wife,
Katharyn, went with a
German couple to a play at a
small theater. The husband
had been an officer in the
German army and had serv-
ed on the Russian front,
where some of the bloodiest
battles occurred. The play
raised a number of questions
about World War II. After-
ward, the Sweets learned the
couple had never even
discussed the war.
The Austrians, mean-
while, resented every non-
Austrian in the country and
considered themselves an
oppressed people. They
blamed all Nazi horrors on
the Germans.
Dr. Sweet's OSS col-
leagues included Jack Hem-
ingway, author Ernest Hem-
ingway's son; Boston Red
Sox catcher Moe Berg;
After the war,
"there were still
cafes," Dr. Sweet
said. "But then it
was ersatz tea and
ersatz rum."
future United Nations
Deputy Secretary-General
Ralph Bunche; and Ilya
Tolstoy, grandson of the
Russian writer.
Author John Le Carre
worked with the OSS'
British counterpart; Dr.
Sweet described him as "a
very bright guy."
"They were the most ex-
citing kinds of people to be
with," he said of the OSS,
which also included numer-
ous Jewish refugees who had
escaped the Nazis.
After the war, Dr. Sweet
from 1948-1958 helped edit
thousands of Nazi docu-
ments captured by the
Allies. He served as chief
U.S. editor of eight volumes,
each about 900 pages long.
"It was an immense pile of
stuff," Dr. Sweet said of the
captured Nazi documents. "I
think we started out with
400 tons."
Many of the reports detail
Soviet-German talks, later
developed into the Molotov-
Ribbentrop non-aggression
pact, and relations with
other Axis powers.
While abroad, Dr. Sweet
often wrote letters to his
wife back home in the
United States. After the
war, his letters became part
of the book Gesellschaft and
Politik am Beginn der
Zweiten Republik, (Society
and Politics at the Beginn-
ing of the Second Republic)
published in Austria.
