NAZI BALLY AT NUREMBERG
MASSED PARADES OF LABOUR CORPS EMOTIONAL RESPONSE GIVEN BY HERR HITLER NUREMBERG, September 8. Thirty thousand members of the Labour Service Corps, 1000 of whom were stripped to the waist, bearing military packs and gleaming spades, goose-stepped for 90 minutes before Herr Hitler, who took the salute. The Fuhrer then gave his attention to the Women’s Labour Service Corps—the “Hitler Maids ’ whose enrolment hitherto has only been semi-compulsory. Five hundred women, dressed in brown skirts, black stockirtgs, and' white blouses, paraded. Some fainted with emotion, but they were allowed, for the sake of discipline, to lie where they fell until the parade ended. The Labour Service men had shouldered spades in a succession of “massed glints,” gained by turning the spade Hades to reflect the sunlight, and giving the effect of 30,000 signalling in Morse. Simultaneously 10c,000 spectators intoned chants praising Herr Hitler, Germany’s natural features, physical resources, her dead and living. Herr Hitler emotionally responded, emphasising how unthinkable was the abolition of the Labour Service Corps, in which the youth bore the spade as a weapon of peace, guaranteeing the eternal greatness of the Germans.
The anti-Bolshevik Exhibition is one of the attractions of the congress. It shows a panorama of the world in which Russia is represented as a mass of flames. Britain, Ireland, India, Canada, and Australia are depicted as centres of Bolshevism.
