WAR IN HIS TIME
Hitler’s Desire Stated By German Officer (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 28. No one in Britain, and probably few outside Germany, ever doubted upon whose shoulders rested the responsibility for the present war. but it is interesting to note that a similar conclusion is admitted by a German officer. In spite of Herr von Ribbentrop’s claim on Saturday that the Allies forced the war on Germany, a broadcast on April 20 by a German officer gave a different view. He said: “On January 24 the Fuehrer, addressing 7000 Germans just about to be commissioned as officers, stated that Germany has to demand the same sacrifices from her soldiers as in previous wars. He said that this war was bound to come at some time and the Fuehrer wanted to conduct this war while he was still alive, as it would be cowardly to shoulder the next veneration with fliis struggle." This also confirms Herr Hiller’s statement Io Sir Nevile Henderson Unit he could not wail for war till be was older.
