        History

        Heinrich Richard Albrecht Kraschutski, was commander in the German navy, 1914-1918, becoming a prominent figure in the pacifist movement in Germany after the First World War, and co-editor of the pacifist weekly, Das Andere Deutschland, the publication of which was regarded as particularly pernicious and treacherous by the Reichswehr because of its disclosures of violations of the disarmament clauses of the Treaty of Versailles. He went to Majorca and together with a small group of other anti-Nazi refugees opened a little workshop of arts and crafts at Palma. When the Franco coup succeeded in Majorca the Royal Navy brought most anti-Nazi exiles to safety but local German Nazis managed to prevent the rescue of Kraschutski, who was forbidden by the Spanish police from embarking. After 1940 any trace of Kraschutski was lost until early 1944 when he was discovered to be in a Spanish jail.
