ATROCITY STORIES
FLOOD IN GERMANY
CAMPAIGN AGAINST POLAND
LONDON, August 12
The Berlin Press is increasingly menacing, and urges Britain not to leave the fate of Europe in the hands of Polish irresponsibles. Newspapers opened the floodgates of anti-Polish
propaganda and released all the atrocity stories that have been stored up for months. It also provided unmistakeable evidence of Germany's aggressive intentions.
Typical of the screaming attacks, the "Uhr Blatt" says that the Polish megalomania which has unleashed anti-German persecution has already started war, before which the democracies tremble. The newspaper alleges 204 attacks against Germans in five weeks.
Herr Hitler's paper "Volkischer Bee™ bachter" significantly says that it is absolutely unprecedented that a great nation should tolerate foreign control of the communications between two parts of its country. Poland's behaviour is only contributing to having this question examined with real seriousness.
The "National Zeitung" says that Germany hitherto has not published the full brutality of the Polish terror, believing that Poland's chauvinistic running amuck would subside, but the British and French backing hat turned Poland's head.
