KPD's+underground+cells

DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT:
 * KPD: communist Party of Germany
 * underground cells were placed mostly in: Berlin, Mannheim, Hamburg, and central Germany
 * most members were paid party activists--> used false names/ papers
 * main aim: to always remain a step ahead of the Gestapo
 * most activists were caught by the Gestapo only six months later
 * eventually the number of activists in the KPD lessened
 * therefore KPD decided to rethink their strategies
 * 1939 (january) cerated a 'popular front' consisting of anti-facists from in and outside of Germany

EFFECTIVENESS:
 * 1939 (august) policy suffered because of the signed 'non-aggression pact' between Germany and the Soviets
 * therefore, KPD could only continue to warn the people the consequences Nazi's aggression could lead to
