Consideration of any kind are a crime against the German people and the soldier at the front.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We must differentiate between guilt and duty. The soldier on the front, like the common man, who does his duty everywhere, should not be held responsible for the actions of a few who also called themselves Germans.
You cannot stoke the fires of prejudice against German people and then not find that somewhere, sometime down the road it doesn't discharge.
The courtesy which most becomes a victor was denied to Germany for a long time.
Those of us who have not had the experience of being invaded by the Germans are in no position to criticize those who accommodated themselves to German occupation, with its ferocious punishments for those who expressed even the mildest opposition.
The German decision to fight is implacable. Even if they were given more than they ask, they would attack just the same, because they are possessed by the demon of destruction.
I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.
I could not have the honour of being a German soldier because of my imprisonment in the First World War. And in this world war the Fuehrer refuses to allow me to serve as a soldier.
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
British Forces should be in a position to give back in a ten fold measure any attack that the Germans may attempt.
Consider well this fact: As long as the German people does not arise and use force directed by its own will, the assassination of the people will continue.
