NAZI MYTH

whole German people of their liberty. But it must be ad- mitted that the people as, a whole are materially better off than they used to be, that they have better health and more security. At least this was the case before this war broke out.
Indeed, in view of the long aring of amazing victories on the military front, many are wondering if the Nazis, after all, are really breeding a race of supermen, Nothing is further from the truth-Nazi propaganda of robust, care- fully-chosen soldiers to the contrary.
Overwork, fatigue, under- nourishment, unrelieved ner- vous tension, lack of proper medical facilities-these and other factors have left their mark on the nation's health. It is true that the soldiers ware well cared for; hence. before the war, some parents were glad to see their sons knowing that conscripted, they would at least be well fed.
-is-difficult-to-get a clear pictine of the health situation
in Germany since the war began, but in the years of Hitler rule that preceded it the "guns, not butter" dictum was definitely not breeding a race of supermen. One may reasonably suppose that the health of the German people under war-time conditions is certainly not better, and prob- ably is worse, than it was in 1939. Here are some salient facts about health under the Nazis in pre-war Germany:
man
The most sensitive index to the people's health is provided by the statistics of the Ger- Insurance Sickness Bureau. These show that in 1939 there was 33 per cent more sickness than in 1932- the last year of the Weinar republic.
Mortality rates, which have been declining steadily in the rest of the world, kept rising under Nazi rule until in 1937 there were 80,000 more people dying each year than in the year before Hitler came to power.
Tuberculosis,
which has been decreasing in the U.S.A. and in other countries, rose sharply in Nazi Germany, in spite of the vaunted "totali- tarian war on tuberculosis."
Only 55 per cent of the young men examined for army duty were found fit for complete military service. Many cases of lung and heart disease were found among the youth.
*
Writing on "Experience in the Health Roll-Call of the Hitler Youth" in 1938, Dr Maorz, a leading. German physician, stated:
"The registration of foot deformities surpasses to an
astonishing extent our uncasy expectations. In more than 70 per cent of the youth of both sexes there were of splayed, twisted or flat feet."
cases
Children have fared no bet- ter than their elders, accord- ing to the available health statistics, ns revealed by Dr Martin Gumpert, former head of the Berlin Dispensary for Deformities, in a study pub- lished last year and based on contemporary German medi- cal and scientific sources.

malnutrition has increased alarmingly under the Nazis.
A survey conducted by Pro- fessor Rominger of the Chil dren's Clinic of Kiel Univer sity in 1938 showed that in Dortmund 55 per cent of the children were stricken with rickets, while in the West- phalian industrial area about two out of every five infants under one year had it. The German death rate for in- fants under one year was 6.4 per 100 in 1937, as compared with 4.5 in New York City, which has always served as the classic example, in Nazi
the суса, of
debilitating effects of "race mixture."
The fanatical Nazi hatred of the Jews was partly re- sponsible for the great in- crease in the rate of infectious and contagious diseases. Vac- cination was discouraged-by- such influential Nazis 18 ་ Julius Streicher of Munich as a deep-dyed Jewish plot to contaminate the pure Aryans with disease-bearing bacteria. In many places salvarsan in- jections for syphilis was for- bidden because it had been discovered

Jew, Ehrlich.
Other children's diseases rose sharply after the Nazis took over. Diphtherin almost doubled from 1933 to 1937, in
contrast to a downward trend (Deutha in other countries. from diphtherin in Nazi Ger- many are four times as high Scarlet as in the U.S.A.) fever also rose about 50 per between cent in Germany 1933 and 1937.
The terrific speed-up in in- dustry and lengthening of working hours long before the war caused considerable in- crease in industrial diseases and accidents, especially among miners. According to the German Bureau of Statis- tics, "cases of incapacitation for work have increased to such an extent that 700,000 workers are constantly out of nction."
Bad and insufficient food also play a part in the serious breakdown of health among German workers. The Direc- tor of the Institute of Hygiene at Marburg University de- clared that "the premature collapse of working capacity and the early invalidism which are unfortunately ob servable among so many Ger- mans are conditioned to the extent of 60 per cent by mal- nutrition."
The rate of suicide among Germans catapulted with the advent of Hitler, and at pre- sont four times as many Gor- mans take their own lives us do Americans.
A tremendous increase in mental and nervous break- downs has been registered since the Nazis took control.
Things got so bad that, at a recent annual convention on psychiatry and neurology, Dr Rudin, most prominent Ger man psychiatrist and no mean race-hygienist himself, constrained to criticise the vain bousts of the Nazi en- thusiasts and to, point to the rising tide of mental disease in his country.
was
The idea that the Nazis have been building a race of supermen is a myth, pure and simple. In a later article the general welfare of the Ger- man people under Nazi rule will be described.
