“THE NAKED TRUTH”
GERMAN PROPAGANDA ADDRESS BY GOEBELLS (Reed. Nov. 0, 11 a.m.) BERLIN, Nov. 5. The Minister of Propaganda, Dr. P. Goebbels, addressing Hitler Youths, said: “If owing to puerile shyness, people abroad are ashamed of propaganda, I am not too shy to use propaganda, even tendentious propaganda which is a dangerous weapon only if directed against the people. It can be the greatest blessing if it is used in the service of the nation.
"Stupid British leaflets are unable to harm us. Nobody listens to voices from enemy camps. British lies cannot disturb the German people’s calm balance of mind. Whereas during the Great War British propaganda was a bogey to the German people and army command, to-day it is nothing more than a laughing stock. There is no need for us to counter lies with lies. We give only the naked truth.”
