NEVER WANTED WAR

JEWRY BLAME HITLER'S LAST WORDS WILL AND DOCUMENTS FOUND NUREMBERG, December 29. Hitler’s will and the certificate of his marriage to Eva Braun have been discovered in a country house at Tegernsee, 30 miles south of Munich. Announcing the discovery. General Truscott, of the United States Third Army, said that a 'British intelligence team, co-operating with the Americans, found these documents, together with a political to the German people and a letter to Admiral Doenitz, in the house of the sister of a woman Triend of Frederick Paustin alias Zander, who was Borinann’s adjutant. Pnustin, who was traced to Tegernsee on information gathered by intelligence officers after a prolonged, search, revealed a suitcase containing the documents. He was arrested. All the documents are dated’ April" 29, 1945, just before the collapse of German resistance. Hitler’s will was witnessed by Goebbels, Nikolaus . von Bulow, and Bormann, his political testament by Goebbels, Bormann, Krebs, and Bergdorf, and his marriage certificate by Goebbels and Bormann. Hitler’s personal will starts: “It is my wish that Eva Braun, who married me when she volunteered to share my fate in besieged. 'Berlin, should be cremated immediately at the place where I have done the greatest part of mv work during my 12 years’ service for my people.’ My wife and myself have chosen death to escape the disgrace of being forced to resign or surrender.”

Bormann jn a manuscript letter to Admiral Doenitz said: “ Since our divisions have failed our situation seems beyond hope. The Fuhrer dictated his political testament last night. Heil Hitler!” General Truscott said that some of the documents would have to remain secret pending further investigation. However, passages from Hitler’s political testament have been released. Reuter’s correspondent says that these show that at the end Hitler tried to shoulder the blame for war on to England and international Jewry. Hitler wrote: “It is not true that I, or anybody else in Germany, wanted war in 1939. It was designed and provoked entirely by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish origin or worked in Jewish interests. I made too many offers for the reduction and limitation of armaments which posterity cannot explain away for all eternity. Therefore, the reasons for the outbreak of this war cannot rest on me. Furthermore, I never desired that, after the first terrible world war, we should arise against England or even America.’’ Hitler said that hatred of the German people would eventually disappear, and the world would not judge him solely responsible. Hitler declared that three days before the outbreak of war he proposed to the British Ambassador a solution of the Polish problem by plebiscite linder international control.

“ This offer canuot be explained away,” he said.. “It was rejected only because responsible circles in English politics wanted war, partly because of expected business and partly driven on by propaganda from international Jewry. But I left no doubt about the fact that the real culprit in this murderous struggle, Jewry, would also have to pay for it if the peoples of Europe should again be treated as bundles of shares by these international money conspirators. I also left no doubt that it -would not be tolerated this time that millions of European children of Aryan peoples should starve to death, and that millions of men should die, and hundreds of thousands of women and children should be burned and bombed to death in their cities without the real culprit sufferin'g ‘ due punishment even though by more humane methods.”
