More Than 100,000
Tots Fathered by
Yanks in Germany
Frankfurt-IUPD-A joke mak
ing the rounds here has a
German telling an American:
"The next time there's a war
don't send troops, Just send
uniforms." . ..,
But the joke has grim over
tones. For the German is re
ferring to the more than
100,000 illegitimate children
fathered in this country by
American soldiers in the 15
years since the end of World to more than $19 a month
War II. The prouicm is one
which has both German and
American authorities here
greatly concerned.
6,000 Babies Annually
- German authorities have es
timated that each year, de
parting American soldiers
leave behind them 6,000 ille
gitimate babies-roughly one
in 20 of them fathered by a
Negro soldier. For most, of
these children, life holds only
the promise of years spent in
poverty or in an orphanage
or a foster home.
Illegitimate children and
their mothers face a life of
hardship .in Germany, where
the laws on illegilimacy have
not been changed since Janu
ary, 1900
The law states that the
father of a child born out of
wedlock must contribute to
Its upkeep until It is 16 years
old. However, a 1949 revision
of the law states that a mother
"has the duty to provide lor
her child," whether it is ille
gitimate or not.
Thus there is some legal con-
fusion over whether fathers
of illegitimate children can be
forced to pay for them or not
Each year, some 00,000 tile
gitimatc children are born in
West Germany. Some 10 per
cent of them are fathered
by American troops, and rallv
cr less by the other allied
armies stationed here. German
officials explain the discrep
ancy by pointing out that there
are many more American
troops In Germany than there
are British, French, Canadian,
Belgian or Dutch.
The high American percent
age docs not mean that U.S.
soldiers arc more pronnscu
ous. these officials say.
Around 60 per cent of the
illegitimate children now liv
ing in Germany are receiving
financial support from their
fathcrs-but in some cases this
amounts to as little as $16 a
month.
It costs an average of $60
a month to keep a child in
West Germany today, and
many mothers are thus forced
to skimp on essentials of food
and clothing-even if they are
getting government help
Some states, such as Badcn-
Wurttcmburg, have laws' pro
viding for mothers 'of illegiti
mate children to receive slate
aid. But this seldom amounts
