HITLER PICKS HIS "GAULEITER" TO RULE BRITAIN – IF HE WINS WAR

Bosses Receiving · Order Against ✨ KEITH WILLIAMS Training THE MAN WHO MADE
AMSTERDAM..
HITLER has chosen the man who will be Nazi dictator of Britain-IF Germany wins the war.
The man is Gauleiter E. Wilhelm Bohle, born in Bradford, Yorkshire, thirty-six years ago of German parents--but still entitled to British nationality and a British passport.
He will be Installed in London, but the Nazis have not yet fixed his official residence, nor the date on which he will take oflee. They have decided to awalt events.
+
Meanwhile, according to reports reaching Amsterdam from Berlin, Hitler's preparations for dealing with Britain after the war are in full swing.
The whole country is to be divided up and ruled by local Gauleiters (lenders), backed up by Gestapo agents..
Special schools for thèse future rulers of Britain have been formed at Bad Tolz, high in the Bavarian Alps, and at Marburg, old Prussian university town. Here picked S.S. men, the black-shirted elite of the Nazi Party, are working night and day, studying English and the other details "of ruling Britons."
Dances and Concerts
He is head of the Auslandsdeuts-
Bohle has benten the field. cher organisation-in supreme control of all Nazis living abroad. His secret orders are their law.
This young man, with the hard, handsome face, left England as a small boy and went to school in Capetown. He owes his career in the Nazi Party to his fluent English, which, he speaks with a guttural accent.
When he took charge of the Auslandsdeutscher in 1933, his subtle plan was to organise concerts, lectures, dances and social events in big cities throughout the world, and so keep Germans in touch with each other.
In London the Nazi headquarters were in Cleveland-terrace, Bayswater, and regular dances were held at Porchester Hall.
To make sure that everything was running as smoothly as it ought, Bohle paid a visit to London.
Perhaps, with some premonition of what was in store for him, he even stood outside Buckingham Palace and other Londen buildings trying to make up his mind where he would. live one day.
Bohle prides himself on his knowledge of England and the English,
So the S.S. men who will serve under him are being given "crammed" courses on English life, customs and etiquette.
They hear about the mysteries of Yorkshire pudding and a nice cup of tea. Nothing is neglected. With typical German thoroughness, they even receive lectures on the English sense of
humour.
