The German news agency DNB today reported that a delegation of Arabs was received by Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, and handed over to him “a considerable donation” as an expression of “Arab friendship with National Socialist Germany.”
The check was transferred by Goebbels to the German Red Cross, the report added. In accepting it, Goebbels told the delegation that “the fight of the German forces is directed against the Jewish world and Anglo-American imperialism, both of which are traditional enemies of the Arab world.”
