“German justice” will be meted out to German and Austrian refugees in France whose return the French Government promised under the armistice agreement, according to a shortwave broadcast from Berlin.
The Nazi broadcaster referred to the refugees in France as “political gangsters” and “dark political criminals” who took advantage of French refuge to carry on a “campaign of hate against Germany.” He added: “It is nothing more than clear justice that these criminals be turned over by the French to German justice.”
