Reign of Terror
Unhappy Conditions Within Germany (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) Received Friday, 10.15 p.m. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The New York Times’ Berne correspondent reports that in order to make up loss of prestige on the Russian front, the Nazi Party has instituted a veritable reign of terror at home, coincident with tho civilian mobilisation decree. Heart-rending scenes, fights and shootings occurred when Gestapo patrols dragged off unsuspecting men and women to barracks and to factories. The latest Gestapo terror has even reached the top party. For example, the Gestapo is reported to have shot a high-placed German diplomat and sent his wife to a concentration camp for alleged seditious activities. It is privately reported from Berlin that Himmler’s special black shirted S.S. army division has been disbanded and absorbed by the regular army as a concession ,to the generals who have resumed command of military operations.
