Confession Warrant Gestapo’s New Cudgel
Received Thursday, 9.20 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 4. ”A confession warrant’’ is tho Gestapo’s new cudgel for combating home front despondency, according to the Daily Express’s correspondent on the German frontier. For example, Gestapo officials visited a woman clerk in Berlin who had spoken despondently in a cafe and placed a declaration before her, reading: “I am guilty of treason. I know I deserve death. I expect execution.” They made her sign it and she was left unharmed but is liable to be taken away at any moment on her own warrant.
