The entire Swiss press launched an attack today upon the recently published Nazi pamphlet by Wolfgang Dierwege on “The Gustloff Case,” which has been widely advertised as “indispensable when the trial opens against the Jew Frankfurter, because dark powers are attempting to help with all their forces a murderer.”

The Basler National Zeitung stigmatizes the pamphlet as a “dastardly attack against Switzerland” and an attempt to interfere with a Swiss court case. The paper charges the pamphlet is full of undisguised threats and accuses the Swiss Government of being in the pay of German refugees.
