Don’t fight at the front, but direct your arms against the culprits. Workers! Every gun you make will help to prolong the war. Sabotage the production of arms and you will help our fight for freedom, dignity and peace.” The announcer asserted that 1000 members of the Nazi Party and 60 sub-leaders had already been executed for anti-war activities, adding that there will shortly be a rising against the regime of war and aggression.
