NAZI SOLDIERS COMPLAIN ABOUT FOOD RATIONS
Luxembourg, March 4. Information from excellent sources makes it possible to state that in Germany, besides the official propa- ganda through the newspapers and wireless, there exists also the propa- ganda of the spoken word.
Of this spoken propaganda I have found many traces in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
There are about 10,000 German subjects here, and through them this country carries on fairly continuous relations with Germany. The latest examples of spoken Hitler propaganda are worthy of mention.

This man would not believe that the Grand Duchy was living under a normal food regime until he had seen for himself that the food shops could Bell, without restriction of quantity, everything displayed in their windows.
He said: "In Germany, shop windows are dressed as in peace- time, but one cannot buy anything except with ration cards.”
In Luxembourg, one notices the curious effect of food restrictions, and above all, of the substitutes, on adult Germans, who have come from Ger-
