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. ❑
