Germans are nothing if not realistic. But while they are surrendering the Ifalian campaign, listen to the words of Sigrid Schultz: “At the first sign of weakness on our part,

ever, is shared by the people who have had some measure of power: The Junkers, aristocrats, professors, industrialists, businessmen, officials, besides the army. - s ”

the Junkers, which fathered Hitler and the Nazis, suddenly assume that the army has changed and is fighting for a decent Germany?” » ” » TWO OF the three men answered the question this way: “They should not bank too strongly on that. But it’s worth a try.” “And if it should fail, it will still be time to act,” another added. “What happens when an army knows it is defeated? The army wanis peace. It wants to 80 home. “The Nazis will fight to retain their grip on Germany. They have been trained for the last fight, trained for civil war.” , s = =

“WHAT WILL happen if allied soldiers rush in? “They won't reduce the bloodshed. On the contrary. “They will suffer losses that might be avoided by making the German army do the cleaning up. “And their presence might help the Nazis to stir up resentment and increase the strength of their guerrillas,” » - . EVERY ONE of underground leaders whose confi~ dence I enjoyed felt very deeply about exemplary punishment of Nazi crimimals. The underground for years has collected evidence on the crimes and depredations of the Nazi party members, of sympathizers among their countrymen of all classes. The great burden of guilt, how-

the danger that the Nazified minds among the masses might elevate to martyrdom men and women executed by foreigners, without German co-operation, whether or not they deserved death, The non-Nazis within the German army have weapons and access to weapons. When it becomes sufficiently clear to them that they cannot hope for peace as long as Nazi criminals are at large, they can and will make use of their weapons if proper psychological pressure is applied. » ” - THIS MUST under no condition be understood to mean that we countenance the establishment of a German militaristic government. For German army leaders should never be given a chance to repeat their performance of 1918 and of the following years, when they were able to hide behind the republic, claim they had not been defeated, and regain power. They will not be able to do so if we make use of them to enforce the consequences of defeat. » » EJ

As a consequence of observations smade at that time, I am deeply convinced that the quicker the Germans are made to run their own show, with responsibility placed squarely on their shoulders, the more quickly pacification can be enforced, provided they are made to realize that none of the tricks which worked after world war I can serve them after world war II. 2 ” ” WE SPENT 25 years being frightened of chaos in Germany and making concessions to the Germans because of that fear, They will cry chaos again, and still again. Yet why should we save them from the chaos they heve invoked? We want to help. Then let us concentrate on helping the emaclated people in Germany's neighboring countries, the innocent victims of pan-Germanism. The Germans are nothing if not realistic. When they see that crying “Chaos! Chaos!” will not bring us running to help them, they will promptly settle down and control the chaos themselves. Certainly there will be bloody clashes, but they would be and should be Germany's affair, » . ” . WE WILL have to remember that Nazism will retain a great appeal for the Germans, even in defeat. It taught them to coordinate the power of the whole nation. And they will never forget that for a time they almost ruled the whole of Europe. They have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the thought that German strength is the basis of all life, Their decent, humanitarian instincts have been buried in decades of wrong teaching, wrong
