cast recorded by UP in New York

nationalist socialist party meeting
today attacked President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister winston Chur-
chill as war mongerS.
Hitler spoke at the Sports PalaSt
on the ninth anniversary of the
Nazis rise to power after the crowd
assembled to hear him had been
told that Germany was in the
hardest battle of all times"
The speech was broadcast to Axis
dominated areas throughout Europe
and to troops at the front.
Hitler bitterly attacked Britain
and said the British had used war
TO build up their empire and that
the Axis intended TO abolish force
as a factor of policy by eliminating
all that was built by force
Hitler said that Britain was the
chief instigator of war in 1914 but
that the first world war did nothing
to end wars.
He said that the same purposes
were behind the present war as
were behind the first world conflict
The Germans lost the first World

Thus defeat was caused not by
our enemies but by our own fault,
