GERMANS IN DARK ABOUT WAR FACTS
"The people of Germany have prac- | trains or anything that looked like
heavy shipments of munitions.
tically convinced themselves that France is not really going to fight in this
war, and that
France is only looking for an opportunity to desert the British.” ·

This revelation of how the German propaganda machine has decieved the German people is made by a special correspondent who has reached Ams- terdam, after being in Berlin and other parts of Germany for the first two weeks of the war.
His story is one of the first mess- ages written by a journalist on con- ditions in Germany which has not passed through the German censor- ship.
*
So well. have the propaganda people done their job, he writes. that the average German one meets in trains and hotels has reached a point where he thinks the idea the French really want to fight is ridiculous.
German newspapers are steadi. ly nurturing this conviction. There is not a word of abuse of France, and the whole animosity of the German propaganda machine was directed against Britain before loft, especially against Mr. Churchill.
SAW NO A. A. GUNS
Reviewing the military prepara- tions, the correspondent says the Nazis appear to be deceiving them- selves. He writes:
I travelled from Berlin to Cologne and from Cologne to the Dutch fron- tier last week-end without seeing troop
Passing through an important in- dustrial area north of Cologne on the west bank of the Rhine I did not see a single anti-aircraft gun. The only sign of war was the presence of a few older men standing about with rifles guarding bridges.
The whole trip was a most revealing demonstration of the average German's determination: not to balleve that war will be- come serious in the West.
I know that the whole of the Ribbentrop group In Berlin was astonished when Britain did de. clare war and when France fol- lowed
THE "MORNING AFTER"
There were several parties in the Wilhelmstrasse (German Foreign Of- fice) the night before Britain de- clared war. They were to celebrate what they thought was Ribbentrop's great coup of successfully launching an attack on Poland without getting into a big war.
The announcement next morn- ing that Britain had declared war was a shock from which the Ger- man governing classes had not re- covered when I left.
Even now they are not prepared to believe that Britain and France are making more than a "face-saving" gesture.
The result was that the men-in- the-street was stunned and unhappy for days once he learned Britain and France had declared war.
