NAZI PROPAGANDA
TREATMENT OF PRISONERS IN BRITAIN. ' ALLEGATIONS BY GOEBELS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) STOCKHOLM, November 5. Dr. Goebbels’s new horror campaign against Britain reached fresh heights with the simultaneous publication in German newspapers of lurid descriptions from repatriated German prisoners of alleged treatment while they were in Britain. “Prisoners were maltreated, tortured, mutilated, shackled, beaten with a rope, and all their personal belongings —wedding rings and iron crosses —were taken from them,” state the reports. “Wounded prisoners were threatened with revolvers and occasionally even with bayonets to get information from them.” Newspapers continue to publish a statement from repatriated soldiers that Britian was on the verge of starvation, and that the people were despondent, war weary, and shabby, and believed that a German victory was imminent.
