Timeline

1906

Klaus Mehnert (October 10, 1906, in Moscow, Russian Empire – January 2, 1984, in Freudenstadt, West Germany) was a German writer, journalist and academic.

He was a correspondent in the Soviet Union; a professor in the United States; a publisher of the German-funded journal XXth Century in Shanghai during World War II; and an advisor to several German governments after the war.

He was a prolific author.

Mehnert was born in 1906 in Moscow, Russia.

His father was an engineer.

1914

In 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Mehnert's family left Moscow for Stuttgart, Germany.

1917

His father died in Flanders in 1917 as a German soldier.

1928

Mehnert attended the University of Tübingen and the University of Munich in Germany, the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States, and finally the University of Berlin, where he received his PhD under Professor Otto Hoetzsch in 1928.

Hoetzsch and Mehnert later took part in the short-lived society to study the Soviet command economy, ARPLAN.

Mehnert was briefly a supporter of Otto Strasser's Black Front.

Over the next ten years, Mehnert traveled frequently, to America, the Soviet Union, Japan, and China.

1934

From 1934 to 1936 he served as a Soviet correspondent for a German newspaper.

1936

In 1936, he was questioned in the press court in Munich under suspicions of being too sympathetic to the Russians; although cleared by the Gestapo, he was forced out of his job.

1941

Subsequently, Mehnert moved to the United States, teaching politics at Berkeley and then at the University of Hawaii at Manoa until 1941.

In June 1941, six months prior to America's entry to World War II, he left for Shanghai, China, where he published an English-language journal named XXth Century with help from the Nazi German foreign ministry and funding from Joseph Goebbels' Third Reich Propaganda Ministry.

An influential promoter of anti-Allied reports and commentary in Asia, XXth Century was later described by American intelligence as "one of the slickest bits of propaganda work that has been done anywhere".

In its four years, Menhert "steered his publication cunningly along a sophisticated path that eschewed overt pro-Axis advocacy", according to the British historian Bernard Wasserstein, with "a wide range of contributors, few of whom were publicly identified with Nazism".

1945

The journal was discontinued at the end of the war in 1945, and Mehnert was briefly imprisoned.

Mehnert returned to Germany after the war.

1946

In 1946, an American tribunal cleared him of having Nazi affiliations.

He continued to face occasional accusations in the American press of spying and anti-Semitism.

The German historian Norbert Frei describes Mehnert as "one of the adaptable 'former ones'" in the postwar leadership of the German newspaper Christ und Welt.

Mehnert held various positions as journalist, editor, and professor.

He was a professor of political science at Aachen Institute of Technology.
