The statement that "According to Freya Klier, Lochore's anti-Communism stemmed from an experience of being beaten up by a group of German Communists in 1930" seems to be a questionable WP:SYNTHESIS of the sources. Klier's book says:
Note that Klier's somewhat vague account does not specify whether the pamphlet was a Communist or Nazi pamphlet, nor whether Lochore's attackers were Communists or Nazis. In fact historian Michael King [1] says the men who roughed up Lochore were Nazis. After citing a letter written by Lochore in 1935 complaining that he had been "manhandled by Nazis" in Germany [2], King goes on to quote a radio interview Lochore gave in 1981 describing the "pummelling". [3] It would seem clear from the context that the pamphlet Lochore was given was a Communist pamphlet, and the men who pummelled him were therefore anti-communists, i.e. Nazis.
