THOSE *0000’ GERMANS When the German army started this war by marching into Poland and murdering everyone in sight, a lot of us in this country blamed Hitler and his loyal gang of cut throats without denouncing the German people. ^ We had the feeling that the old German stock were a humane, peace-loving group who were pow erless to do anything to curb the wildman who had suddenly be come their nominal leader. We remembered German families we had known and liked and couldn’t feel that they, nor people like them, would be a party to the blood-thirsty plans of the man they were temporarily forced to obey. But as Hitler gradually battered in the whole face of Europe “and left it bleeding, we continued to hear nothing from those “good” Germans. Perhaps they haven’t raised a voice, to stop Hitler’s a- trocities because they know it would cost them their lives, but whatever the reason, it is sense less for us to continue hoping that any remnants of the breed of Germans we admired will be heard from until the Nazi war machine is crushed. We must forget about those old-time Germans and realize ;hat even after the war is won, we are going to have to deal with a new type of human being who is cruel, merciless, totally lacking n religion and trained from child- lood to hate and to fight. It is the German youth—blindly de voted to Hitler and all he stands or—who is fighting this war. It is the German youth—with his warped viewpoint, his undeveloped soul and his crippled mentality— who must be dealt with when the time for peace planning arrives. One of the most gruesome de scriptions of what that German youth is like was given by a Rus sian soldier who recently visited this country. The Russian—jyst a boy in his ’teens—told of his own . Sergenat York type of perform-': ance in which he is credited with having shot down 76 Germaii soldiers. He had been with a group of Russian boys who were attacked by a constant stream of Germans. ..? In describing the actions of , these German soldiers as they ] walked into the fire of the Rus sian guns, he told how they were ' all smiling a hard, set smile—how most of them had cigarettes hang, ing nonchalantly from their lips— and when one German was shot down his place would immediately be taken by another who would walk over the dead bodies of his comrades without changing his pace, with that same fiendish smile, continuing to puff on u cigarette, walking as if drugged— without fear and without feeling. But the drug which those sol diers of Hitler use is not a nar cotic of the ordinary variety —it’s a mental poison which has been applied by , their school teachers, by their club leaders and by the black magic of Hitler and his de-educators. Unless the generation brought up under Hitler’s tutelage is wiped out before the war ends, one of the great problems of the Allies will be that of controlling this pack of devil-worshipers who- have never heard of the stand ards by which the ordinary civi lized human being has been, taught to live. . | Whether they can be re-edu cated and taught right from wrong, after having it pounded into them every day of their lives that wrong is right, is question able. But when this war is over and plans are put into operation to restore peace to the world, it should not be forgotten for a minute that peace can never last unless this new form of mental ity is handled with iron gloves. At Weekly Chief-of-Staff Luncheon Over a luncheon table the nation’s joint chief of staff meet on<-6 each week for an informal discussion of the conduct of the war. It followed by a conference attended by experts of both branches of serv ice, where co-operation in battle strategy is worked out. The group: At right, reaching for coffee cup, is Adm.
