"Etliche tausend Aachener wurden nach der Eroberung ihrer Stadt intensiv verhört – unter anderem von dem US-Historiker und gebürtigen Wiener Saul K. Padover, der Mitglied der Abteilung für Psychologische Kriegsführung beim US-Militär war.
Schwabe und Henke haben nach Archiv-Recherchen in Washington Berichte über verschiedene dieser Verhöre in mehreren Publikationen zusammengefasst.

Daraus ergibt sich „ein Bild hochgradiger politischer Unreife“ (Schwabe).

Demnach konnten sich manche Aachener gar nicht daran erinnern, noch zwölf Jahre zuvor an freien Wahlen teilgenommen zu haben.

Man sei immer unpolitisch und sowieso katholisch gewesen, habe keine Beziehung zur NSDAP.

Nur ein einziger habe sich als Nationalsozialist bekannt."
