Subject: Hilarious piece of Soviet-type propaganda

Outstanding and hilarious piece of anti-German propaganda!

Written by an Czech,looks like, and even uses absolutely the same language to describe Germans as Soviet conspiracy authors used to describe the evil American imperialist spies somewhat later!

Gestapo agents roaming Holland with passports valid for 14 days that are somehow supposed to prevent them from defecting are a real gem!!!

Subject: Nazi Use of Fifth Column Technique in Pre-war Europe

Writing in 1939, the author reviews the period 1937 to 1939 when the Nazis were able to obtain all of their desires for expansion (Austria, Czechoslovakia, the Ruhr, etc.) without having to fight. They used negotiation, intimidation and their foreign agents to influence foreign policy in Britain and other major foreign powers. They also used the influence of the wealthy, whose fear of communism led them to favor the development of fascist countries. The author warns about similar techniques being used within the United States-- to keep us out of the war and to weaken us in the event of war. To me, the story was enlightening and plausible. Most other histories I've seen of this period gloss over the details, so I enjoyed reading it. It is one man's view of the coming debacle and must have been enlightening to some people during the period before America entered the war.
