Portrait of Man
With a Hammer:
The biggest victory in the war so
far was achieved by the Moscow Of
ficials who coined this sentence:
'Those German officers and men
and members of the Nazi party who
have been responsible for or have
taken a consenting part in the above
atrocities, massacres and executions,
will be sent back to the countries
in which their abominable deeds
were done in order that they may be
judged and punished according to
the laws of these liberated coun-
tries and of the free governments
which will be erected therein"
The best word in the ruling is 'con-
senting" That means all the guilt
won't be shuffled off onto Hitler and
the Nazi suicides, who are cinch to
blow their scrambled brains out
when Germany's licking becomes Of

derers are counting on repudia-
ton of the Nazi party to excuse their
crimes when peace comes
That's why all those stories are
trickling out of Der Straightforward on
how the army hates the Fuehrer.
The German army hates only

But there will have to be more
punishment than sending the homi-
cidal maniacs to the gallows and to
jail. Somebody's got to pay for
their destruction and rebuild the
towns and cities they have burned
and blasted out of existence. They
can't restore the lives of their VIC
Tins, but much of their destruction
can be repaired. Because there's an
angle to their wrecking methods, as
Fletcher Pratt points out. The Nazis
are whipped and they know it
They figure that the same old softies
will be in charge of things as ruled
after the last war when they escaped
with their worthless hides. The SEN
timent, they hope, will be: "Oh, we'll,
we've won the war so let's be mer-
ciful"
What's become of the Chinese
