Scope and Contents From the Collection:

The articles, newspaper clippings and correspondence in the Friedrich Ernst Auhagen Collection were collected between 1939 and 1952 by Henry Pope, a prominent Republican and Chicago area businessman who was indicted in 1941 for failure to register as a German agent. Betty and Henry Pope frequently invited Dr. Auhagen into their home when he visited the area. Auhagen claimed that his arrest was part of a Democratic plot to discredit German- American Republican leaders.
