West Germany is second to the United States in giving "aid" to the South Vietnamese administration, So far, this aid has exceeded 230million W.G. marks= 15m. of this was devoted to the "strategic hamlets" programme and 50mg to the building of the Nong Son chemical works(near Da Nang} for the production of chemical poisons used by the U.S. and their troops to conduct the war. U.S. and west German news agencies and newspapers have revealed that U.S. defence Secretary McNamara and West German Defence Minister Von Hassel in May 1964 secretly signed a treaty on West Germany's military aid to South Vietnam, including West German troops for participation in this war. Since then, many W.German 'volunteers' have been sent to South Vietnam, as nurses, sappers, jet pilots, military training personnel,etc. Early this month, West German plants started producing bombs for the U.Se; in January and February this year 2,500 West German military experts arrived there in civilian clothes.
