DELIBERATE AIM
BRUTALISING YOUTH GAOLERS IN CAMPS NAZIS ACCUSED MEDICAL WRITER (British Official Wireless.} Reed. 11.50 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 6. A German medical writer who has found sanctuary in England after personal experience of the concentration camps at Dachau and Buchenwald contributes an article to the current quarterly issue of the Catholic Medical Guardian confirming in almost every detail what has been published in the White Paper concerning the brutality of the Nazis. Discussing the effect of barbarities, not only on the prisoners but on the gaolers which, he believes, to be the result of a deliberate policy, the writer says: “It is interesting to note in this tragic connection that parties of the Hitler youth organisation are frequently taken through the camps.
“It is difficult to escape the conclusion that one of the functions of these institutions is to produce a systematic brutalisation of German youth of military age.”
