Hitler's £15,000,000 Kidnap Plot

"IT'S ALL RIGHT, THEY'VE COME FOR ME."

ME;” HE SAID Baron Seized, Threatened By Mob--On A Gramophone!

TO-DAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, IS TOLD THE FULL STORY OF HITLER'S KIDNAPPING OF BARON LOUIS ROTHSCHILD,

Since his terrible experiences at the hands of the Gestapo, Baron Rothschild, head of the Austrian branch of the famous banking family, has been silent. He is living quietly in a Paris suburb, a white- haired old man, recovering from his ordeal. Crowds Storm Baron's Home

Now, at last, the whole truth can be told about one of Hitler's most brutal crimes. Here, in all its horror, is the story of how the Nazis held Baron Rothschild to ransom for £15,000,000.

On March 11, 1938, tricked, deceived, and overwhelmed, Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg of Austria bowed to the in- evitable.

The minute Baron Louis Rothschild heard the news of Schuschnigg's resignation, he left the banking district near the Burgtheater and hurried to his home on the Prinz Eugene

Strasse.

He knew that the Nazis would run riot on the streets, and he and his faithful servants boarded themselves in against the ter- rorists. They turned out the lights and waited.

All was quict until about 1.30 on the morning of March 12, when they heard the shouting of a crowd out in front of the big fron gates,

Shots were fired and the crowd scattered. A squad of Nazi soldiers hulted by the gate, and he heard a voice calling to him to open up.

"IT'S ALL-RIGHT," HE SAID-TO-THE-TREMBLING SERVANTS. "THEY'VE COME FOR ME AND I'M READY FOR THEM."
