The Threatening Nozis

There is an ugly intimation in the
Nazi reaction to the execution OF
three Germans convicted of war
atrocities in Kharkov. Although the
trial was conducted solely by the
Russians, DR.. Goebbels and his
minions curiously reserve their chief
wrath for Britain and the United
States, limiting darkly at reprisals
against Allied soldiers in general
but promising particularly that
military courts will soon deal with
British and American prisoners who
are guilty of a serious breach of
international law
This threat fits in with a recently
intensified Nazi campaign to paint
our own and British fliers as gangs
ters" and Huns of the air. whose
raids on German cities constitute an
enormous atrocity. 1t is as if Goeb-
bels we're deliberately trying to whip
up such hate and fury against us
in the Reich as to make any form
of retaliation sit easy on the aver
age Germans conscience. The pat
tern of his propaganda seems
shaped to this end, and its implica-
tions are too disturbing to be
laughed off, for since the Nazis are
capable of performing any evil, they
are not above inflicting physical
harm on our captured Allied airmen.
1t is worth remembering, at any
rate, that when the Japanese cold
bloodedly murdered several of the
American aviators who took part in
the raid on Toxic, the Nazi press
and radio vigorously applauded the
action, and DNB, the official Ger
man news agency, passed signif1-
cantly favorable comment on it,
asserting that "at the proper time
Germany will make use of whatever
means she thinks fit to retaliate for
crimes committed against German
territory" Since then the Nazis
have uttered many cryptic threats,
one of the latest being made early
this month when they promised to
end the Allied "air terror" by re-
sorting to "one fell, drastic stroke"
which would not necessarily involve
big guns or bombs but would in
stead be quite different and sur
prising expression, spiritually as
well as politically"
When read against this back
ground, the current Nazi promise to
set up military courts to punish
British and American prisoners
seems darkly meaningful. Such a
procedure, since it would result only
in intensifying the vigor and scale
Of our attacks, would be as militarily
senseleSs as it would be cruel, but
Hitler and his henchmen are dis
tinguished chiefly for that kind of
criminality, and in these days of
their mounting desperation, we
must be prepared to expect the
worst from them, however empty
their present threats may prove to
