Arbeiter und Soldat (meaning Worker and Soldier in English) was a clandestine magazine produced for German soldiers by the French Trotskyist group Parti Ouvrier Internationaliste during the World War II Nazi occupation of France.[1][2] Its editor was a Jewish exile from Berlin named Martin Monath.[3]
The publication ardently opposed fascism but also refused to extend support to the western Allies, characterising them as imperialist. Six issues of the paper were published between 1943 and 1944,[1] despite fierce repression of the far-left press by the Milice and Gestapo.
In August 2008 the archive of extant issues was republished in English. A new English translation was included in a biography of Martin Monath in October 2019.
