      From: mars1933@hotmail.com               Here are some quotes from the German pamphlet "How they Lie" from       1940. The pamphlet has many pictures but the words alone are       interesting enough:              "For example, what would you say if a colleague of yours, whom you       regarded as a rival and who disliked you, were to spread the rumor       that your household is in disorder, that you murder small children and       rape defenseless women? Rest assured that in our country such a person       would soon be behind bars.              But the international politicians and journalists who slander entire       peoples in a shameless manner not only run around freely, they       impudently put on airs as the saviors of human culture. No lie is too       crude for them, no slander too vulgar-they understand their craft.       Even in World War I they knew how to incite hate with the help of       atrocity propaganda. We all recall those daily lies of the "German       barbarian" who, "like a wild beast rages over the earth and destroys       everything in hate and the fury of annihilation, who tortures children       and delights in the tears of mothers," as a foreign paper once wrote.              In war, man stands against man. Each serves the Fatherland in his own       way, and no soldier will deny the knightly convictions of a noble       opponent. Today, however, a cowardly gang of professional agitators       daily invents new lies and pictures from the safety of their desks.              How was the German soldier once depicted by enemy atrocity propaganda?       We all know them, for we had fathers, brothers, sons, and men out       there. For instance, on 20 March 1915, the newspaper "Le Rire Rouge"       published the following picture of the good German soldier:              A bloodthirsty murderer of women and children, a robber and plunderer,       who nourishes himself with sausages made from human flesh-that was how       it saw the brave and loyal German soldier.              Each of us knows what a crude and baseless lie this is. Every decent       person in the world should have known this. And yet: "Some of it will       always be believed, the stupid and gullible will never see through it       all" - so hope the political liars and slanderers.       We know what to think about this flood of slander flowing over the       German people. We heard the same things between 1914 and 1918. Then as       now, they are attempting to drive a wedge between leaders and people.       The goal of this propaganda is always the annihilation of Germany.              We are also familiar with the old lie about the desecration of       churches and shrines, which are once again in fashion with our       enemies.              This is the undamaged cathedral of Tschenstochau.       The picture of the Polish shrine of the Black Madonna, with the German       soldiers in the foreground, was taken after its alleged destruction by       German bombers.       While the lying and yellow press of the entire world and the enemy       transmitters were inventing hypocritical stories about the presumed       destruction of the holy shrine, the Prior of Tschenstochau wrote the       above letter to the German military authorities that clearly testifies       that the monastery and holy shrine were untouched.              Thus the lie regarding supposed German attack could be immediately       exposed. The English Ministry of Advertising has had nothing to say       since.       In reality, these lies are ancient. Our enemies always babble about       violated sanctuaries, persecuted priests, murdered children and       tortured women in order to prejudice the world against Germany and to       arouse the impression that the world must be defended against "the       barbarians who are threatening human culture."              The picture above is taken from a leafet dated 19 August 1914. The       same lie was used back then. Supposedly the Germans had attacked the       monastery at Jasno-Gora.              They always lied, they lie today, they lie, they lie.       There were countless numbers of these malicious pictures in World War       I. Today we see the new versions of this crude charge. Enemy radio       reports reports of drugged candy and poison gas-filled children's       balloons, with which German troops allegedly killed Polish children.       And our enemies decided to spread this vile slander in the exact       moment that the world heard from neutral journalists about the       unimaginable crimes perpetrated by the Polish on fellow German       countrymen. All of these neutral independent reporters saw and       corroborated the terrible atrocities against Germans with their own       eyes. In light of these proven facts, the shameless enemy presumes to       turn the tables and pin these murders on the Germans, declaring that       the murdered, whose names and addresses are known, are Poles.              They hate the Fuehrer, because he exposes their lies and crimes.       They hate him, because he rescued the hard-working German people from       eploitation. How happy they would be to see the Führer and the entire       German people delivered into the dark machinations of the world       Jewry! It shows the impotence of the Jews, since all they can do is       drag a straw man through the streets and burn it.       What do these subhumans know about the joy of a genuine national       community? These warmongers are hard at work rousing the world against       Germany. How little they know about the indisoluble bond between       Führer and people that is so overwhelmingly clear in this picture:              The Fuehrer speaks with German workers.       He knows that he can trust them, and they know that our cause is in       his good hands.              The enemy countries, who are so worried about the fate of the German       people, also worry about the S. A.              We have often seen them; we know how these men look. They are our       comrades, our colleagues in the workplace, our fathers, brothers, sons       and men.       Do they look like this? Since when are these imagined daggers the true       symbol of the S. A.? Once again some professional liar has taken his       pen in his hand.       They lie, they lie....              German men from all regions and occupations use their free time and       energy in regular practice, so they can be ready to serve the       community. When in the summer of 1939 the agricultural labor force was       too small to bring in the rich harvest, these men freely joined in to       help with the harvest, serving the homeland on peaceful fields. Why       does the enemy press, which loves to speak of its objective reporting,       never carry such pictures of Germany?              The more one examines their endless scribbling and radio news, the       clearer one sees that these expert liars have never spoken the truth,       not even once.       This time a newspaper really outdid itself. Here we see how a German       holiday is libeled.              Christmas and Nazi Winter Relief       We all know this picture. It is the Christmas celebration of a German       family that did not have the means by itself to celebrate this holiday       of love in the way the Führer wishes, in the way that every German       family should experience.       The NSV got involved.              Helpers, men and women, walked upstairs and downstairs, heard the       wishes of the needy, and provided gifts.       We all know the results. In any case, the 80 million people of the              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
