However, the FEA concludes upon the basis of its

In brief the confusion is that German dominated
Europe is producing materials adequate for pro-

The 'SS' is the elite. "SS" stands

are the men whom Hitler has tried
to forge into new aristocracy. I
can best tell Of their training in the
words Of former prisoner in an
Austrian concentration camp, whom

but full-blooded Teuton. He told
me that from personal observation,
when he had been forced to work in
an "SS" training camp, the train
ing of the "SS" men was Just as
brutal as the discipline of the prison
ers except, of course, the bodies of
the "SS" cadets were not injured to
the point of rendering them useless.
Strong anti-Nazi prisoners were
hung up by their wrists with their
hands behind their backs until their
chest and shoulder muscles were
torn apart. This, of course, would
not be done to an ''SS" man since it
would render him unfit to serve the
Fuehrer. But the "SS" cadets were
beaten in the face with riding whips
and pounded as mercilessly with
whips and slaves.
