BRITAIN AND GERMANY
Sir,-Although I agreed with most of Arthur Manning’s recent "Lookout" talk, I consider it naive today to utter publicly such statements as " .. . Germany has shown no remorse for plunging the world into a second world war." Hitler
repeatedly said that ‘Britain. would one day be fighting alongside Germany against the Bolsheviks, and as Hitler was right about this, he could have . been right about some other things, and I think he was. Hitler saved Germany from a red revolution, and cleaned up the existing imrgorality deliberately being inculcated in Germany by certain people. Hitler never wanted to fight England, and instead of our entering the war against Germany on account of Poland (and look at Poland today, under the iron heel of Communism!) Britain should. have permitted Hitler to make his traditional drive east, and so have smashed up the Marxist citadel in Moscow. In the’ meantime the British Empire could have consolidated its position in the event of an attack from Germany. We have been a party to hanging "war criminals," and I think this was a tragic mistake, Mr. Churchill was always of this opinion. Germany certainly did wrong things in the war, but then so did we, when we consider one instance: of the bombing of the Mohne and Eder dams which drowned thousands of innocent German women and children. It is in the interests of the British Commonwealth to consolidate friendship | with Germany today. "United we stand" applies with terrific emphasis today against the atheistic, evil slave-labour ideology of the Marxist Communists. 7
