 HOLLYWOOD-To my mind, the most disturbing and sinister fact about Germany today is that it is a nation without a conscience.
 Not long ago, I visited Germany and other sections of Europe at the invitation of the Psychological Warfare Section of the War De- partment. I went there as one of a group of film executives. We were sent to study at first hand what war, as it is fought today, does to men and women and nations physi- caIly and spiritually.
 In the course of that tour, we talked to many people. Among them were military leaders and diplomats, high-ranking representa- tives of various governments, men of religion and men of low estate, men and women who had lived through the terror, some scared and some ennobled.
 But shocking as it may seem, we failed to find in Germany even one person with the slightest sense of shame of war guilt. They have no realization of the scope or enor- mity of their crime against man. kind. They have no compunction
