HITLER’S INVITATION CAME TOO LATE
COPENHAGEN, September 16
The former League of Nations High Commissioner in Danzig (Dr. Karl Burckhardt) when interviewed, stated that Hitler’s invitation to him to go to Berchtesgaden on August 13 came over late.
“I might, perhaps, have had a chance at ,an earlier stage, since it is my opinion that every German desired peace from the bottom of his heart,’ he added.
“The man in the street in Danzig was indifferent and tired, and none really thought that local affairs were the occasion for such a catastrophe.
“I do not think Poland is finished yet. The feeling in the Baltic States is that Russia will not enter the war unless the Germans are being beaten.”
