“The best example of press censorship is to be seen in Czechoslovakia. Of course. Goebbels can’t trust the journalists there, so that Press conferences and directives are not enough. There are Press offices in every small town in Czechoslovakia. In 1939 a circular was sent round to all Czech journalists. It ended with these words: ‘The censors of the Central Press Bureau use brown pencils; the German military censors use red and green pencils; and the censors in the local press offices use blue and purple pencils.’ The items left uncoloured by the views and the pencils—of the censor, presumably appeared in the newspapers.—-A. J. van Velden reviewing the book “The Goebbels Experiment” in a 8.8. C. talk.
