BEHIND THE SWASTIKA
The Editor, "The Listiner." Sir,-Congratulations to the NBS on its prompt production of the documented BBC play, "The Shadow of the Swastika." Only a few days before I heard a fragment from Daventry. The most striking scene to me is that in which the millionaire Thyssen plots with other rich men to use Hitler as a tool to "divert" the German working people from their demand for a greater measure of social justice. And in to-day’s cables, Thyssen, from a safe refuge in the Argentine, is appealing to those same working people to try to turn out Hitler! Thyssen has confessed that he spent 60 million marks over five years in helping Hitler. We know, too, that Hitler was also supported by other plutocrats in other countries. Yours. etc..
