The mysterious “Col. Britton” who directs the anti-Nazi activities in occupied countries through his regular broadcasts from here to the people enslaved by Germany, today devoted his broadcast to exposing the anti-Jewish newspapers published in various Nazi-held states with financial aid supplied by Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda.
Col. Britton urged his listeners in the Nazi-occupied countries not to pay any attention to the anti-Jewish outpourings of the French newspapers “Au Pilori” and “Gringoire,” to the newspaper “Le Noveau Journal” in Belgium, to “Laaste Nieuws” in occupied Holland, to the Danish anti-Semitic newspaper “Faederlandet,” to the Norwegian newspapers “Aftenposten” and “Fritt Folk,” to the anti-Jewish organ “Vlaika” published in Prague, and to the Polish “Nowy Kurier Warszawski” and “Goniec Krakowski” published in Warsaw and Cracow respectively. All these papers exist on funds supplied by Berlin, Col. Britton said.
