Note the report at bottom left: "Duff Cooper Urges War On German People, Not Hitler Alone" |
(In this report, the writer, Dewitt MacKenzie, makes the argument that saying that the war should be waged not just against Hitler, but the whole of the German people, undermines the efforts of some who were trying to get the German people to rise up against Hitler on their own. The last paragraph says; "Indeed Herr Hitler could scarcely have been handed a more persuasive argument to keep his people staunch. This isn't the first time that Duff Cooper and Hitler have tangled, but it is once when Hitler got something to be pleased about." In my opinion, Mr. MacKenzie could not have been more mistaken. There is nothing to suggest that such an uprising was anywhere on the horizon, or that in Germany such an uprising had ever been successful. Remember, Hitler himself had tried to overthrow the German government, in 1923, and failed.) |
Also note the headline: "212 Negros Burned To Death" |
(The fire at the Rhythm Club still stands as the tenth deadliest fire in U.S. history. In total 209 people died. The cause is thought to have been accidental, however five Black men were arrested when the police were told that they had threatened to burn the club down. The men were later released and no charges were ever made against anyone for the fire.) |
