A large quantity of circulars issued by walter Plesch, the Hitlerist leader in Karlsruhe, have been confiscated by the police in Baden, which have been circulated among the peasants in that State, inciting them to stop sending food supplies to the towns because only in that way will it be possible to outwit the Jews, who are alleged to be plotting to bring about the destruction of Germany.
The Jews are accused in the leaflets of being “the mortal enemies of the German people”, and if you send your crops and vegetables to the towns, the peasants are told, the Jews will buy them all up, and so starve our German people into accepting the new obligations thrust upon us by international Jewish finance, with the aim of driving Germany in desperation into Bolshevism, so as to disrupt our German civilisation and enslave us finally to Jewry. The only way to save ourselves from this danger, the leaflets go on, is for all patriotic Nazi farmers to stop sending their supplies to the towns, and defeat this cornering plot of the Jews.
