A neo-Nazi organization that had planned to open branches in Berlin, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein tomorrow has been dissolved on orders from the Ministry of Interior, a ministry spokesman disclosed today. He said the group calling itself the Association of German National Socialists had only seven members but had worked out a Nazi political platform calling for a fight against international Jewry. He said that a frequent consultant of the group was Martin E. Bruce, a leader of the defunct American Nazi Party, who is presently serving with U.S. forces in West Germany.

In a related development, East Germany yesterday handed journalists photostats of documents purporting to show that more than 200 officials of the West German Foreign Ministry held high posts under the Nazis and were directly concerned with plans for the mass killing of Jews. The documents were presented at a press conference called by the East German Foreign Ministry in East Berlin.
