Paul Wohl

Paul Wohl (1882-1968) was a German-American journalist and economist known for his analyses of European affairs and his pre-World War II warnings about the rise of Nazi Germany.

Born in Berlin, Wohl worked as a correspondent for various German newspapers and publications, covering economic and political developments across Europe. He later emigrated to the United States in the 1930s, as the political climate in Germany deteriorated.

In the United States, Wohl continued his journalistic career, writing for publications such as Barron's and Christian Science Monitor, offering insightful commentary on international relations and economic trends. He was a vocal critic of appeasement policies toward Nazi Germany, arguing for a stronger stance against Hitler's regime. He believed that failing to confront the growing aggression would lead to wider conflict.

Wohl's expertise in European affairs made him a sought-after commentator and advisor during and after World War II. He contributed to discussions on postwar reconstruction and the emerging Cold War tensions. He advocated for a strong and unified Western Europe to counter Soviet influence.

He also authored books and articles detailing his views on global politics and economics. His work emphasized the importance of understanding historical context and economic forces when analyzing international relations.
