Neue Zeit, 27 November 1965, p. 4 (women's page): 'Die Kraft liegt in der Einigkeit', a history of 20 years of the WIDF (IDFF). Indonesia appears once, in a list of imperialist armed aggressions (Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaya, Korea) against which the WIDF organised protests. The article also stresses the DFD's role and Ilse Thiele's election as WIDF vice-president. Gerwani is not named; the Indonesia link is a passing mention.

Neue Zeit, 27 November 1965, hlm. 4 (halaman perempuan): 'Die Kraft liegt in der Einigkeit', sejarah 20 tahun WIDF (IDFF). Indonesia disebut sekali, dalam daftar agresi bersenjata imperialis (Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaya, Korea) yang diprotes WIDF lewat aksi-aksi. Artikel juga menonjolkan peran DFD dan terpilihnya Ilse Thiele sebagai wakil presiden WIDF. Gerwani tidak disebut; kaitan dengan Indonesia hanya sebutan sepintas.

“Ebenso organisierte sie Protestaktionen gegen die bewaffneten Aggressionen der Imperialisten in Vietnam, Indonesien, Malaya, Korea, sie half den friedliebenden Frauen der VAR während der Suez-Krise sowie den Frauen des algerischen Volkes.”
