Franz Borkenau
Franz Borkenau was a German writer, at one time an official historian of the Comintern, and later a prominent anti-communist.[1]
Borkenau was close to the Neu Beginnen group in the German anti-fascist underground in the 1930s.[2] He argued for a vanguardist approach to underground organisation, arguing that a leninist style of organisational discipline and centralism simply made sense faced with the conditions of Nazi Germany.[3]
