 Rudolf Augstein, Publisher of Der Spiegel -- Rest in Peace
Rudolf Augstein, the founder and publisher of Der Spiegel, who regarded his weekly news magazine as the "assault artillery" of his country's fledgling postwar democracy, died today of pneumonia, his publishing company said.
Augstein exerted broad influence on his country's press, politicians and policies in a career that began modestly enough when, at the age of 23, he took over a weekly news magazine from British occupiers and began publishing Der Spiegel, which means The Mirror, in January 1947.
Augstein meanwhile had cemented Der Spiegel's credentials as an emblem of West German democracy and the freedom of its press, and its stark contrast with the Soviet Union's grip on the Communist regime in East Germany.

Augstein goes into this in the article in detail, too, but the issue is totally false, as anyone who has read the critics must know, and it is fair to assume that Augstein has read the critics.
Augstein must know, too, since it is common knowledge, according to many polls, that it is not only the majority of "people interested in Kennedy's death," but the majority (around 80%) of the population--in other words, about 200 million people in the US alone--who believe the Warren Report is a pack of lies.
Augstein knows, however, that the WC and the autopsy doctors went to great lengths to suppress the crucial evidence of the large exit wound in the back of the head, which all of the Dallas doctors described in detail.

This was even more so the case with Augstein, whose controlling position in the company simply did not permit the compelling conclusion that he was aware in detail of the material collected and published by Ahlers and had properly assessed its secret character.
In the instant case, an investigation was conducted against Ahlers and Augstein on the charge of treason -- against Ahlers as author and against Augstein because he was allegedly aware of the article before it went to press and thus sanctioned the publication.
There is nothing to indicate that the proceedings against the members of the editorial staff were merely initiated as a pretense for disposing of the procedural barrier in the form of the seizure prohibition in the investigation of the informants.
