Glossary for Nazism
By J. E. Johnstone
HITLER'S one consistency is his distortion of plain terms to suit his own vile purposes. Thus it is that, whether he is address- ing the Reichstag or publicly explaining why he took the ateps he did to bestow German blessings on the Balkans, or ex- posing the machination of his enemy, he habitually uses a language all his own.
No one outside the Axis coun- tries, and only the most gullible minds inside them,`could any longer be hypnotised by Hitler's bland pretence that whenever The attacks a neighbour it is he who is the real victim of trea- chery and aggression,
It may, however, be instruc- tive to compile a specimen glos- sary of Nazi terms habitually used in the attempt to convince the world that black is white, or at any rate a higher shade of grey. Here it is:
