UNDER NAZI HEELS

EVIDENCE FROM GERMAN SOURCES VIOLENCE OF HITLER’S PLAN. FOR WORLD ENSLAVEMENT. Nazi blandishments no longer cloak the violence of Hitler’s plan to enslave the world. The New Order in its true character is revealed in the German press and in statements by Nazi leaders. “National Socialist ideas of race and respect for other nations make Germany particularly well fitted for the task of colonial administration.” — “Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,” 29/12/40. “There are no different kinds of honour; there is but one honour, the honour of being a German in the Germany of Adolf Hitler. Our strength derives from our blood. The German nation has forsworn all thought of class; it knows no distinctions. There is but one distinction alone: that between Germans and criminals.” —(Dr. Ley, addressing the Judges of the Labour Front, "Der Angriff,” 22/5/38.) “In an article explaining the application of the German penal laws to the occupied Polish territories, Dr. Neubauer stated that in general the basis of the National-Socialist penal code is that the weaker serves the stronger, and that one people leads all other peoples dwelling in one geographical and geo-political space-unit. —• “Litzmannstaedter Zeitung,” 27/11/40.)

“The position of the Poles or of the negroes in the colonies must be considered, under criminal law, from the point of view of the supremacy of the German -people.” — (Reichsminister Frank, at a Congress of the Academy of German Law, Munich. 22/11/40.) “The negro is, so to speak, a slave by nature, and the whole colonial way of life in East Africa is based on this exclusively subservient hole of his.” — (“Muenchnes Neueste Nachrichten,” 28/11/40. summarising ideas expressed by Gerhard Nobel in his book of essays, “Fire and Water.”) PRACTICAL APPLICATION. “The Axis Powers' actually control the territory they wish to organise, and therefore can make a concrete beginning with their new order." —(“Frankfurter Zeitung,” 26/11740.) “A German soldier killed a Norwegian sailor with his bayonet iat Molde when the sailor made remarks against him when he was with a Norwegian girl in the town park. The German soldier was not punished. Three thousand people, many of whom had come from afar, attended the funeral.” —(“Nationen,” Oslo, 17/12/40.) “A Dutchman threw a beer-glass at a German soldier in a cafe, seriously injuring him. He was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. Three young Dutchmen, under the impulse of enmity to the German forces, took the caps of German officers from a restaurant cloakrooiji, and tore them to pieces. They were sentenced to 17 months’ imprisonment. The German court stated: ‘Certainly a mild sentence for this great insult’.”—(“Deutsche Zeitung in den Niederlander,” Amsterdam, 21/12/40.)

“A bargee from Rotterdam said to a hawker of the official N.S.B. (Germanbacked Dutch Nazis) newspaper: ‘I won’t buy papers from the betrayers of my country.’ He was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment, and placed on probation for two years.”—(“Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant,” 13/12/40.)
