Note the report in column 3: "Marshal Milch Shot, Says Moscow" |
(In another "exclusive" Radio Moscow reports that Generalfeldmarschall Erhard Milch, who was head of aircraft production for the Luftwaffe, had been arrested by the Gestapo and shot. The reason for the execution, Milch was descended from a Jew. As with other such reports from radio Moscow, this one was false, although parts were true. Milch may or may not have had a Jewish father, but this had been known since the mid 1930's. Nevertheless, he had not been executed by the Gestapo. After the war, Milch was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to life in prison, but like most Nazis (except for Rudolf Hess) he was released early. In his case life in prison lasted seven years. His life actually ended 18 years later in 1972.) |
Also note the report in columns 2-3: "Any Surplus For Workers - Bigger Meat Ration Unlikely" |
