The Times said Waldheim was attached to a German army com mand in World War 11 that fought brutal campaigns against Yugo slav partisans and which deported Greek Jews. It said the documents were found among German mil itary records and in the archives oi the Austrian Justice Ministry and the Foreign Ministry. Austria was part of Nazi Germany from 1938 to the end of the war in 1945. Waldheim is a candidate for the Austrian presidency and is consi dered to be leading with the elec tion two months away, on May 5.

According to the Times, Wald heim acknowledged he had served m a Nazi student union at the Con sular Academy in Vienna in 1938 and remained a member until he entered military service on Aug. 15 1939. He was quoted as saying that he did not realize he had been enrolled in the SA. Hitler’s brown- shirted security troops. The SA was later superseded by the SS as Hitler’s police. Profil published a photo of a recently declassified document that identified Waldheim as a member of the S A and the student group. The New York Times car ried a photo of Waldheim on May 22, 1943, at the airstrip at Podgor ica, Yugoslavia, now Titograd. With him were an Italian com mander and two German officers, one being the commander of the Seventh SS Volunteer Division. Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, issued a statement in New York that accused Waldheim with “one of the most elaborate deceptions of our time.” Bronfman said it was “inconceivable that Waldheim would have been elected U.N. secretary general had the lacts been known.” “Although Mr. Waldheim writes in his autobiography that he studied law in Vienna during this period—‘it was impossible to leave Austria,’ he writes, ‘the borders Thanks to you... it works... for ALL OF US Unibed Way have been closed’—he in fact con tinued his military service under Gen. Lohr in the Balkans until the end of the war,” the Times re ported. Gerald Reitlinger, a historian of the Holocaust and author of the book “The Final Solution,” said Gen. Lohr was “perhaps more implicated in Jewish deportation than any other Wehrmacht com mander.” Witnesses described how dozens of German army trains left Salonika day after day bearing Jews to their deaths in extermina tion camps, the Times said. Waldheim wrote Rep. Stephen Solarz (D—N.Y.) in Nov. 1980 that “I was never associated in any way with the Nazi youth move ment,” and that he had served with a reconnaissance unit in an Austrian army division in 1941. He said he was wounded on the east ern front and resumed his law stu dies at Vienna University where he was graduated in 1944. Solarz is in the Philippines this week, according to an aide. When he returns to Washington he will take up the case again, the aide indicated. Solarz wrote Waldheim in 1980 after allegations appeared about him in the New Republic magazine. The Central Intelligence Agency told Solarz at the time, “We believe that Waldheim was not a member of the Nazi youth movement, nor was he involved in anti-Jewish activities.” The CIA letter, from Fredrick Hitz, the CIA’s legislative counsel, said that Waldheim s ser vice with Austria’s 45th infantry division ended in 1941 when he received a leg wound. His recuper ation, the CIA said, required almost a year. “He was dis charged,” the CIA said, “from mil itary duties following his recovery and returned to study law in Vienna.” Your child will gain one fall grade level rnjust 36 hours. grade equivalent score in just 36 instruction hours.
