The poster displayed by the Nazi club in London, calling for the killing of the thirty-three German refugees whose possessions were confiscated by the Nazi regime and whose citizenship was revoked, has been withdrawn, according to a report in today’s London Daily Herald.
The same paper disclosed yesterday that the poster in the club ordered the killing on sight of any of the thirty-three offenders against the Nazi regime. “If you meet one of them, kill him, and if he is a Jew, break every bone in his body,” read the notice, which was prominently displayed, the Herald asserted.
Those named in the alleged order included Philip Scheidemann, first Chancellor of the Republic of German; Otto Wels, former chairman of the Social Democratic party, and Lion Feuchtwanger, noted author.
