With Germany apparently planning to use poison gas on the Russian front, the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda started a campaign today in the entire German press stating, that Jews are urging the Moscow Government to begin poison gas attacks against German soldiers on the Russo-German front.
The Nazi propaganda campaign, it is understood here, aims to justify both possible use of poison gas by the German army as well as the brutal treatment of Jews in the part of Ukraine occupied by the Nazis.
“Jewish commissars,” the Nazi press reports, “have submitted to Moscow a plan to begin gas warfare on the eastern front. They base their arguments largely on the fact that Russia is immune to reprisal attacks due to certain anti-gas measures invented by a Jewish scientist named Jacob Trachtenberg.”
The anti-Jewish campaign in the Nazi press, in connection with the war on the Russian front, is becoming more and more severe every day, with the view of keeping families of killed and wounded German soldiers under the impression that Jews are responsible for the casualties.
German newspapers which arrived here today report that in the town of Bebra, central Germany, a local priest was sentenced to five months imprisonment for performing a marriage ceremony between a German boy and a Jewish girl with whom he fell in love and married after she adopted Christianity.
