Thjey say he will proclaim himself King of England and Poland, Emperor of Germany and Austria-Hungary. He will place three Strathalters in charge of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom will be divided into 96 districts, each under a Gauleiter. Hitler has chosen Field-Marshal Goering as 1 Viceroy. The Zurich correspondent of Le Journal comments that the average German probably does not believe this story. But undoubtedly it appeals to certain tyFes, intoxicated with the idea of Nazi glory. The story is given in explanation of why there was no celebration, apart from Hitler’s speech, of the seventh anniversary of the Nazis’ accession to power. Nazi leaders said that Hitler did not convene the Reichstag because he contemplated a celebration in April with . a dignity that can be only described as “royal.”
