Walter Dirks

Walter Dirks (8 January 1901 in Hörde (GER) – 30 May 1991 in Wittnau, Baden-Württemberg (GER)) was a German political commentator, theologian, and journalist. He co-founded the Bensberger Kreis, and was co-editor of the Frankfurter Hefte. He opposed National Socialism, and in Die Arbeit (August 1931) "described the Catholic reaction to Nazism as 'open warfare'". Dirks was a supporter of socialism and an opponent of nuclear weapons. With other writers such as Eugen Kogon in the Frankfurter Hefte, he articulated the opposition to rearmament. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
