THURSDAY, AVGUST 15, 1940 "HELLO ADOtF" 3 o oo w e n s anieh aod We‘ve certainly waited long enough for an attack, and now that it‘s a reality, it isn‘t so stupendous as exâ€" pected. Being so secretive about opâ€" erations across the channel from England had aroused a monstrous attack on England in our imaginaâ€" tions. Here we expected at least 1400 planes bombing England, and you only gave us 400. Are you unâ€" power, or are you just allowing Briâ€" ton to taste a bit of a huge Blitsâ€" krieg? I hope it‘s the former. Originality is your middle name, Adol{. You‘ve inaugurated a new form of warfare . . . that of mass attack at any point, and not linear demarkations for static combat. You‘ve revolutionized war as far as armored forces go. Our army is still lacking essential tanks and armored divisions necessary in fightâ€" ing a "Hitler war .. ." leashing the better part of your Any originality on your part seems to be an asset in military cirâ€" cles. The construction of the great Maginot line by the French was inâ€" deed a frace. You thought it wise to build a fort to compete with the French in publicity of "military preparedness," hence came the mighty Siegfrid line . . . something you never used, but it was a threat that psychologically equaled the Maginot line. The construction of the Siegfrid line was not completely original, Adolf. After the liberation of Germany by the Cheruscan Armâ€" inius at Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. (a little before your time . . .), Auâ€" gustus built the Limes, or great forâ€" tified wall which was extended across the whole German frontier. Power is a wonderful thing to have, Adolf. If anyone ever posâ€" sessed power since the turn of the century, you certainly surpass him. There are many different denotaâ€" tions of power these days. Many prominent persons who have power, wield it in different ways. Power lies not only in the diplomatic, miliâ€" tary and political circles, but also in industry, agriculture and labor. Some powerful persons derive much more from their positions than you do. Instead of inflicting hate and sorrow upon the world, they ameliâ€" orate and uplift prevailing standâ€" ards of living by exerting their strength toward the betterment of mankind. Many of these persons build libraries, construct new homes in the slums, allot money for sciâ€" ence, charities and the general culâ€" ture of the people. _ _ Real power has fulness and varâ€" iety. It is not narrow like lightning, but broad like light . . . said Hitchâ€" cock. A man who succeeds in one line of endeavor, such as yourself, could easily have made a success in a change of circumstances. Who knows, if you had taken up art, you might have been one of the greatest artists of all time . . . though I doubt it. the literary channels We hear much propaganda expressing hate for you, just as we read many newsâ€" paper writings expressing dislike for our own president. I wonder if the following exerpt from Wit, Wisdom, and Pathcs (Heine) would fit into the present situation: Whoâ€" Speaking of great Germans, Heine might have been an overbearâ€" ing dictator, such as yourself . . . but instead he devoted his life to over, by the irresistible force of genius, rises above the common herd is certain to be ostracized by soâ€" ciety, which will pursue him with :;A-mm“m that at last he will be comâ€" At by J. W. Crawford "It just makes me feel good all ovet" says Mrs. Highâ€" land Parkâ€"ite, "to know that at last I‘ve found a pince where they clean spotlessly clean; loave mo cleaning odor and give the real personal service."

I doubt whether your name will be inscribed in the books with anything such as that. It will probably read: " . . . a dynamic Austrian, dishonest, unsincere, unâ€" just, unbenevolent, insensible, selfish and a man who defed God . . ." Writers today compare you with Napoleon, for which they have good reason. Bismarck, successor to Wilâ€" liam I, and truly one of the German greats, opposed unnecessary centralâ€" ization and redtape. Bismack was successful and well liked by his peoâ€" ple. Unlike Napoleon and yourself, after the state of saturation, on naâ€" tural lines, was reached with the foundation of the empire, Ae never conspired to annex, or forced into the federation against their will, smallor states, such as Belgium, Holâ€" It is said that Bismarck spent his whole life in uniting and consolidatâ€" ing the unity of his people. In his memoirs he left the Germans a treasure of history and political wisâ€" dom in classical German. It can be said that you endeavored to unite your people, but with the advent of conquest over many bordering naâ€" tions, you left the trend foreshaâ€" dowed by one of your great predeâ€" cessors, Bismarck. German boys and girls must be mystified as to your conduct in foreign affairs . . . in comparison with such men as him. I doubt if you allow them to read about men of his calibre . . . if you do, it must be distorted tt meet your wishes. $ France, Denmark, Poland and Norâ€" way. It revives the old theory that different races cannot be molded into one heterogeneous whole . . . for any length of time. One of the strange facts in the\ German language is the word deutsch, which later translated "German," but originally denoted "popular." I‘m sure that your acâ€" tions frustrated any connotation of German being "popular" today. I like to think of German being aloof from Nazi. Nazi stands for someâ€" thing other than German, someâ€" thing sinister . , . a new denotation . . . disastrously taken for a synoâ€" nym with German. I think the conâ€" census would agree that German shouldn‘t be confused with Nazi. Nazi should be connected with a kandful of maniacs including yourâ€" self, and not connected with the German people. (They are helplessâ€" ly in your power) or their contribuâ€" tions to the world of music, science and art. Dear American, As yet, my real Blitekrieg on Britain hasn‘t nearly begun. I gathâ€" ered from your latest epistle that you understand this. Four hundred planes is barely a fraction of what Hoping you lose that Cricket match with the British, I remain, A. N.

I have nothing to regret and retract the same amount . . . I saw that France would uphold the policies and tactics practiced in the last war, so I decided to be different. Your country was confronted with much the same problem in the Revâ€" olutionary war. ‘The British, followâ€" ing traditional war tactics, marched in the open and donned bright reâ€" them off like so many fiies. French couldn‘t orientate themâ€" selves to a new environment. They followed tradition, and suffered the consequences. Tradition has its place, but not on the battlefield. In the current war, the French built forts and trained millions of men, while I concentrated on the chief implements of modern warfare . .. tanks and planes. Of course, I had to have men to take over newly acâ€" quired territory conquered by my armored divisions, but they played a very minute part in conquest. Yes, Britain and France were founded on tradition, gradually exâ€" panded on tradition and have been utilizing tradition for the past quarâ€" ter century. Tradition in a modified form has quite a stimulating effect on people. But when the English still insist on the "Changing of the Guard," and all that dillyâ€"dallying, it seems to have traversed from stimulation to moral disintegration. I was hoping that the United States would depend upon tradition and therefore not make use of the tank. But, sadly to relate I see that the semate is passing bills that call for mass production of such impleâ€" ments. You made quite a fuss over my power in your letter. While reading it, I thought you inferred that my power pertained more to monetary strength, and not strength over peoâ€" ple. I have no money . . . my power lies with my population.

My one aim is to free Germans of the unnecessary homage they have been paying to Britain and other plutocratic nations. â€" After this conâ€" filct is completed, I will endeavor to help my people more than ever. Just as the Thirteen Colonies fought for freedom, I fight for mine. Just as the United States has become one of the greatest nations on earth, so will Germany. Give her time. I may never see the day when she will dictate world affairs, but when I die I‘ll be fully aware that I have done my part in making this feat possible. Well, terminating my letter today, I will quote one of my fellow counâ€" trymen ... Richter.
