NAZI EXECUTIONS

Dr. Rust Denies Brutality

Even at Leipzig, Waterloo and Sedan Britain and France did not confront the last problems of their very exist ence, said the Minister of Education, Dr. Rust, addressing the Teachers’ Congress at Frankfort. He was replying to foreign inquiries as to whither Germany is marching.

For the reason mentioned, said Dr. Rust, foreigners misunderstood Herr Hitler’s execution of some of his former associates as portending a revival of the brutal Middle Ages. England and Franco, at the end of that era, had united realms, whereas Germany emerged from the Middle Ages torn and bleeding, and was now engaged in a fight for national unity and greatness.

The real Nazi economy would be established only when all Germans became servants of the Nazi State. Naziism would exist in the schools when it was created by the new class of German teachers yet to bo trained in order to create a new type of human being. Germany demanded that teachers in control of German youth must live and march with it as the people’s army of the future, like military officers. Other speakers emphasised the necessity for impressing German youth with Germany’s right to possess colonies.
