Sir,—O. M. Brundall cannot see at what period of their lives the Nazi leaders were “weak and helpless” Surely these words aptly describe their condition after they had been condemned to death and w*re awaiting the execution of the sentence. Let him just imagine how he himself would feel in the death-cell.. Having had experience of war-time stories during the first World War and having profitably read Lord Ponsonby’s “Falsehood in Wartime,’’ I had decided in my own mind, rightly or wrongly, not to accept any atrocity stories till they had been properly investigated from both sides. To me the supreme atrocity was the war itself, besides which the minor atrocities sank into relative insignificance. Does O. M. Brundall think I am right in thinking that the third world war is practically inevitable because most people believe, as he does, in punishment, i.e., revenge? —Yours, etc., 1 N. M. BELL. October 26. 1947.
