Thoughts on Germany

[stefan]

I'm looking for Orson Welles' article "Thoughts on Germany" from 1951 which was published in a British journal and for the series of articles about Germany which he published in 1950 in a French newspaper. I could offer in return some rarities from my collection.

I have Thoughts on Germany, but can't help with the rest, I'm afraid.

In James Naremore's THE MAGIC WORLD OF ORSON WELLES, there are excerpts from an article Welles wrote for a British publication in the early 50's. I don't know if it's one of the articles in question, but it's interesting. It's about Fritz Mandl, an Austrian arms tycoon said to have been involved in the rise of both Hitler and Mussolini. It's also believed he was one of the models Welles used for the character of Gregory Arkadin. After the war Mandl had found refuge in Juan and Eva Peron's fascist regime in Argentina, and became their chief weapons manufacturer. Welles' article depicts Mandl relaxing on a European lake, perhaps there to strengthen relations between Argentina and Franco's Spain.

Does anyone still have "Thoughts on Germany" and would be willing to share it?
