The nazis have repeatedly confounded their critics and enemies by telling exactly what they intended to do As in the Case of their invasion of Holland and Belgium. Insofar As the revelations of this nazi official Are concerned they seem to have a marked air of authenticity be cause their entire character con forms with Hitler s ideology and ambition and coincides with nazi Germany s immediate military needs. For these reasons this version of Hitler s supposed peace plan is be ing reported in the manner in which it was summarized by a nazi inter mediary who has possibly been commissioned to break the news to certain Balkan governments. It is said that Hitler s Berlin peace conference would probably not make Many Large transfers of territory Between european states after Rumania had ceded parts of Transylvania to Hungary and the Dob Rudja District to Bulgaria. The nazi spokesman asserted that an economic Union would be formed Between Hungary and Rumania. Yugoslavia Greece Bulgaria and european Turkey would be Pinkei nto one economic group but Italy s precise sphere of influence was not discussed perhaps significantly. Familiar plan the plan that Poland would be reconstituted As an Independent tale had a familiar startling sound o it which was typically nazi. It Vas explained that the new Poland would resemble the present czech tale and that the two would be inked together presumably As Ger Man protectorates. Around Ger Nany. As the main political and be grouped Olland Bel Gium and Denmark. It is stated that this map of Hitler Ian Europe has already been completed in Berlin in All its Essen tial aspects. Delegates to the so called peace conference apparently would merely examine the new european map and sign on the dotted borderlines. Hitler s emissary to the Balkans declared that Germany would try to break Britain s resistance by violent Aerial bombardments. He admitted that British air raids had heavily damaged the Industrial districts of the Rhineland and the Ruhr. He claimed that Germany already has several subterranean air plane plants in operation and would build More they could function with out danger from air raids. The nazi official Plain that Ger was deeply concerned Over the great destruction which could be wrought upon her from the air and therefore was particularly worried Over the probability of the United Stales coming into the War. For this reason. Hitler s proposed european economic bloc is particularly designed to offset any Anglo american co operation especially if it should eventually become a military Alliance.
