After World War II, at the request of General Lucius D. Clay, Lewis H. Brown wrote A Report on Germany, which served as a detailed recommendation for the reconstruction of post-war Germany, and served as a basis for the Marshall Plan. General Clay selected Brown to write the report because of Brown's broad industrial and war experience. While writing, Brown spent time in Germany, and also personally interviewed General George C. Marshall, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Joseph T. McNarney, General John H. Hilldring, John Foster Dulles, James F. Byrnes, former President Herbert Hoover, R. C. Lefingwell, Otto Jeidels, and former Senator Sinclair Weeks, among many others.

A Report on Germany, Lewis H. Brown — Farrar, Straus and Company, New York, 1947.
Germany has been confronted with a disturbing escalation in violent crimes against those who are different, and especially those who are perceived as not ethnic German during the period since unification.
Germany is currently confronted with a political and social crisis that has profound consequences for its citizens, as well as foreigners who seek refuge within its borders.
The report also attempts to document the failure of the police to respond in an appropriate manner when foreigners' safety is in jeopardy, as well as the government policies that have contributed to the crisis.
Germany's labor laws have helped produce a society that is wealthy, at a quick per capital analysis, but is extremely skewed in the distribution of that wealth.
Germany is expecting 11-14% growth this cycle, and experts say growth might have been as little as half of that without the advent of modern microcommerce.
Germany’s military advisory mission to Tanstaafl met with some unexpected problems, not the least of which was the fact that a military advisor will generally be unsuccessful unless there is a military to advise.
