Talk:Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

Peace Pledge Union

I reverted this edit:

The formation of CND marked a significant change in the international peace movement, which from the late 1940s had been divided between the World Peace Council (WPC), an organisation directed by the Soviet Communist Party and the Peace Pledge Union (PPU), a Quaker organisation that advocated an end to all war preparation. Because the WPC had a large budget and organised high-profile international conferences, the peace movement was often associated with the Communist cause in the eyes of the press. CND represented the growth of the unaligned peace movement which was independent of either the WPC or PPU.

With the best will in the world, in the 1940s and the 1950s, the international influence of the tiny Peace Pledge Union cannot be compared to that of the World Peace Council, which had far more members, vastly more money and achieved much more widespread publicity.

Possible discussion of Controversy

In many Christian circles, the CND sign is rumored to be linked to the persecution under the Roman emperor Nero, and others are sceptical because in the Third Reich the inner part of the "broken cross" was used as a death rune. (see German version of the Algiz article for pictures of legit grave stones from the time) Is it worth mentioning these other uses and the controversy that arises with it, and possibly show sources as to debunk these sceptic approaches?

Here is an unreliable example of the controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.92.106.240 (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
