A document purporting to be a detailed Nazi plan for the enslavement of a conquered Britain, annihilation of British Jewry and intimidation of American Jewry, has been smuggled out of Germany, it was reported here today. The document, allegedly signed by Gestapo leader Heinrich Himmler and circulated among Gestapo group leaders as “confidential–on penalty of death,” outlines the following program:
1–Round-up of war leaders, anti-German writers, speakers, preachers, teachers, all trade union executives and all European Jewish refugees;
2–Creation of a government comprising British Fascists under German leadership, with local government administered by German army commanders for at least ten years;
3–Placing of all schools upon a “Germanic base,” and control of all cultural activities;
4–Padlocking of all factories competing with German industries or converting them to other work;
5–Compulsory labor, embracing a 10-hour day and minimum wages, “to keep the population fit,” and a ban on all voluntary labor unions;
6–Dealing with English Jewry “in such a way as to strike terror to the hearts of American Jews;”
7–Ruthless suppression of possible unrest by cordoning off districts and starving the inhabitants to death;
8–Converting England ultimately into a German colony.
