THE

DISEASE EXPLODES

NAZI MYTH

OF A RACE OF SUPERMEN

One Nazi myth has been swallowed by a lot of other- wise wary people, including ardent anti-Fascists. Here's. how the myth runa:

Granted that Hiller has mistreated Jews, radicals, liberals and Catholic and Pro- testant clergymen. Granted, too, that he has deprived the whole German people of their liberty. But it must be nil- mitted that the people as a whole are materially better off than they used to be, that they have better health and more security. At least this was the case before this war broke out.

Indeed, in view of the long string of amazing victories on the military front, many are wondering if the Nazis, after all, are really breeding a race of supermen. Nothing is further from the truth-Nazi propaganda of robust, care- fully-chosen soldiers to the contrary.

Overwork, fatigue, under- nourishment, unrelieved ner- vous tension, lack of proper medical facilities-these and other factors have left their mark on the nation's health, It is true that the soldiers wore well cared for; hence, before the war, some parents were glad to see their sons that knowing conscripted, they would at least be well fed.

-It-is-difficult-to-get-a-clear- picture of the health situation in Germany since the war began, but in the years of Hitler rule that preceded it the "guns, not butter" dictum was definitely not breeding a One may race of supermen. reasonably suppose that the health of the German people under war-time conditions is certainly not better, and prob- ably is worse, than it was in 1939. Here are some salient facts about health under the Nazis in pre-war Germany:

The most sensitive index to the people's health is provided by the statistics of the Ger- Sickness Insurance Bureau. These show that in

1939 there was 33 per cent more sickness than in 1932- the last year of the Weimar republic,

Mortallly rates, which have been declining steadily in the rest of the world, kept rising under Nazi rule until in 1937 there were 80,000 more people dying each year than in the year before Hitler came to power.

Tuberculosis,

which has been decreasing in the U.S.A. and in other countrles, rose sharply in Nazi Germany, In spite of the vaunted "totali- tarian war on tuberculosis."

Only 55 per cent of the young men examined for army duty were found fit for complete milltary service.

Many cases of lung and heart disease were found among the youth.

Writing on "Experience in the Health Roll-Call of the Hitler Youth" in 1938, Dr Maerz, leading German physician, stated:

"The registration of foot deformities surpasses to an

astonishing extent our uneasy expectations. In more than 70 per cent of the youth of both sexes there were cases of splayed, twisted or flat feet."

Children have fared no bet- ter than their elders, accord- ing to the available health statistics, as revealed by Dr Martin Gumpert, former head of the Berlin Dispensary for Deformities, in a study pub- - lished last year and based on contemporary German medi- cal and scientifle sources. Rickets a disease caused by

malnutrition has increased alarmingly under the Nazis.

A survey condicted by Pro- fessor Rominger of the Chil- dren's Clinic of Kiel Univer- sity in 1938 showed that in Dortmund 55 per cent of the. children were stricken with rickets, while in the West- phalian industrial area about two out of every five Infants under one year had it. The German death rate for in- fants under one year was 6.4 per 100 in 1937, as compared with 1.5 in New York City, which has always served as the classic example, in Nazi the debilitating of eyes, effects of "race mixture."

The fanatical Nazi hatred of the Jews was partly re- sponsible for the great in- crease in the rate of infectious and contagious discases. Vac- eination was discouraged-by- such influential Nazis as Julius Streicher of Munich as a deep-dyed Jewish plot to contaminate the pure Aryans with disease-bearing bacteria. In many places salvarsan in- jections for syphilis was for- bidden because it had been discovered by the Jew, Ehrlich.

Other children's diseases rose sharply after the Nazis took over. Diphtheria almost doubled from 1933 to 1937, in

contrast to a downward trend (Deaths in other countries. from diphtheria in Nazi Ger- many are four times as high as in the U.S.A.) Scarlet fever also rose about 50 per cent in Germany between 1933 and 1937.

The terrific speet-up in in- dustry and lengthening of working hours long before the war caused considerable in- crease in industrial diseasès

and accidents, especially

among miners. According to the German Bureau of Statis- ties, "enses of incapacitation for work have increased to such an extent that 700,000 workers are constantly out of action."

Bad and insufficient food also play a part in the serious breakdown of health among German workers. The Direc- tor of the Institute of Hygiene at Marburg University de- clared that "the premature collapse of working enpacity and the early invalidism which are unfortunately ob- servable among so many Ger- mans are conditioned to the extent of 60 per cent by mal- nutrition."

*

The rate of suicide among Germans catapulted with the advent of Hitler, and at pre- sent four times as many Ger- many take their own lives as do Americans.

A tremendous increase in mental and nervous break- downs has been registered since the Nazis took control.

Things got so bad that, at a

·recent annual convention on psychiatry and neurology, Dr Rudin, most prominent Ger- man psychiatrist and no mean race-hygienist himself, constrained to criticise the vain boasts of the Nazi en- thusiasts and to point to the rising tide of mental disease in his country.

WAS

The idea that the Nazis have been building a race of supermen is a myth, pure and simple. In a later article the general welfare of the Ger- man people under Nazi rule. will be described,
