HITLER MAIDS LIE WHERE THEY FALL.

PARADE OF EMOTIONAL WOMEN

(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-. Copyright) ■ NUREMBERG, Sept. d. After 3000 labour service members, ■ a thousand of whom were stripped to ' the waist, and all bearing militaxy packs and gleaming spades, had gooseI stepped for ninety minutes, Herr Hitler, who had taken the salute, gave ! attention to the women’s labour ser- ‘ vice—Hitler maids, whose enrolment i has hitherto only been semi-compulsory. ' Five hundred women, dressed in brown i skirts, black stockings and white i blouses, paraded. Some fainted with i | emotion, but were allowed for the sake of discipline to lie wdiere they fell until the parade ended. The Labour Service men had shouldered spades in a succession of ‘ ‘ massed glints ’ ’ gained by turning the blades of the spades to reflect the sunlight, giving the effect of 30,000 men T sending Morse signals simultaneously. I A hundred thousand spectators inj toned chants praising Herr Hitler, ' Germany’s natural features, her phyI sieal resources, her dead, and her [ living. j Herr Hitler emotionally responded, ! emphasising the unthinkability of ] abolition of labour service, in which j youth bore the spade as a weapon of I peace, guaranteeing eternal greatness | for the Germans.
