Das Schwarze Korps, organ of Fuehrer Hitler’s praetorian guard, in an article published on page one of today’s issue expresses the fear that Germany will soon be forced into war and blames “Jewish plotting.”
Stating that “world plans against the Reich have been mapped by world Jewry,” the periodical cites the following as proof of its allegations:
1. The Grand Supreme Lodge of the Freemasons of New York has resolved to stimulate war against Germany before the next harvest.
2. Georges Mandel, French Minister of Communications, a Jew, is behind the entire foreign action against the Reich and is responsible for the military staff conferences between the former Allied Powers. He may be France’s next Premier.
3. There are a number of highly qualified Jewish generals in the Russian army.
The paper refers to the Jews’ hatred of the Reich and alleges they would like to see her encircled and completely destroyed. Declaring it has found the French army’s general staff a willing tool, the article accuses the Jews of arranging the France-Soviet military alliance and appeals to England not to support France.
