PLANNED DER TAG FOR 1948

BRITAIN was to be German by 1948. The Nazis had a Ten-Year-Plan to "con- quer" Europe. In 1937 they carefully mapped their timetable of systematic aggression.

An original of the secret map was dis- covered by the Czech police in a raid in 1938 on the Prague headquarters of Konrad Henlein, leader of the German Nazi Party in Czechoslovakia.

Although Henlein claimed to be loyal to the democratic Czech State, he was later revealed to have been in secret negotiation with Hitler, and is now a local Gauleiter.

A photographic copy of the brutally planned timetable was brought to London by one of the official British observers in the Sudetenland.

The Ministry of Information now in the issues this astounding map form of a bold, coloured poster.

Thus are the Nazi war alms again strikingly demonstrated to the world. For All To Sec

Here was the plan:-

Austria and Czechoslovakia were

to be taken by 1938.

Poland and Hungary were to be annexed by 1030.

Rumania, Jugoslavia and Bul- starla were be conquered by 1040

Denmark,

to

Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Ukraine and the North of Franco were to be under the Nazi yoke by 1041.

Before 1948, Iller's hordes of grabbing gangsters would have Belted Scandinavia and Portugal.

Before 1918, also, the swastik would have fluttered from Britain's filstorie castles and the Union Jack would have been trampled beneath the heel of the Nazi Jack-boot. This is how the plan was to be carried out.
