In the space <strong>of</strong> a few weeks our brave troops crushed the Polish enemy who was in the service <strong>of</strong><br />

Britain and France, and thus eliminated danger from the east. <strong>The</strong>reupon Britain and France decided<br />

to attack Germany from the north.<br />

Since April, 9th, the German armed forces have also nipped this attempt in the bud.<br />

Now something has happened that for months past we have regarded as a threatening menace. Britain<br />

and France are attempting, by their employment <strong>of</strong> a gigantic maneuver <strong>of</strong> distraction in south-eastern<br />

Europe, to thrust their way forward into the Ruhr district by way <strong>of</strong> Holland and Belgium.<br />

Soldiers <strong>of</strong> the Western Front!<br />

<strong>The</strong> hour for you has now arrived.<br />

<strong>The</strong> struggle that commences today will decide the fate <strong>of</strong> the German nation for the next thousand<br />

years.<br />

Do your duty.<br />

<strong>The</strong> German people, with its fervent wishes, is with you." Adolf Hitler, 10th May 1940<br />

A.J.P TAYLOR<br />

"<strong>The</strong>re can be no doubt that he (Hitler) broadened the war in 1941 only on preventive grounds."<br />

A.J.P Taylor, War Historian<br />

".... neither the French nor the British would have made Poland a ground for war, if Washington had<br />

not continually pressed for it. Bullitt, (Ambassador William C.Bullitt) he said, had declared time and<br />

time again that the Germans would not fight, he (Kennedy) that they would fight and overrun Europe.<br />

Chamberlain, he said, had declared that America and world Jewry had pushed Britain into war. In his<br />

telephone conversations with Roosevelt in the summer <strong>of</strong> 1939, the President had said to him<br />

(Kennedy) repeatedly that he should press a hot iron to Chamberlain's backside. Kennedy claims to<br />

have answered each time that it would lad to nothing to press a hot iron to his backside, so long as the<br />

British had no iron with which to fight...." American Ambassador Kennedy, December, 1945<br />

THREATS AGAINST NEUTRALS<br />

Many countries throughout the world maintained neutrality, and remained on friendly relations with<br />

Hitler's Germany. All were threatened with trade embargoes and similar measures designed to ensure<br />

their compliance with the American-Jewish-Communist alliance.<br />

"We must not ask questions as to what these small powers want, nor listen to explanations <strong>of</strong> what<br />

they are prepared to do. We must tell them frankly that we demand what part each <strong>of</strong> them has to<br />

play in the alliance to destroy the German menace. If one or other <strong>of</strong> them show signs <strong>of</strong> hesitation,<br />

we must act so as to ensure that such hesitation will be immediately overcome. It is time similar<br />

measures were taken with regard to Holland and Belgium." Duff Cooper, Privy Counsellor.<br />

In 1944, a fuel blockade was imposed upon neutral Spain to enforce compliance in taking action<br />

hostile to German interests. Similar measures were taken against neutral Portugal and threats were<br />

made against Argentina.<br />
