A warning to German Jews in foreign countries not to trust the persuasions of Nazi agents to return to Germany with their capital was delivered today by the Pariser Tageblatt, German language paper edited by Georg Bernhard, former editor of the Vossische Zeitung.
The paper declared that the German agents are paid by the German government, which is now trying to improve its increasingly desperate economic position by such schemes. Numerous cases were cited by the Tageblatt, including the case of a wealthy South German banker who had all his possessions confiscated by the Nazis.
