 We are now at war. There are but two alternatives, total victory or total defeat. There can be no such thing as a military stalemate that would result in the survival of Hitlerism. That is the opinion of a man who knows. Douglas Miller, for 15 years, commercial attaché to the American Embassy in Berlin. Presenting a radio series entitled, You Can't Do Business with Hitler. Episode 8, The Living Dead. The Living Dead. Douglas Miller speaking. Many Americans today are deluding themselves with the idea that we won't have to make any great effort to defeat Hitler since the people in the occupied countries like Greece and Norway will revolt and thus destroy the Nazi regime. Holding on to this kind of a myth is the kind of thing that loses war. In fact, I feel that this particular myth is deliberately inspired by Nazi propaganda. Let's face back. Unless we and our allies defeat Hitler's armies, the occupied countries will be under Nazi domination for the next thousand years. Why is there a vote of the conquered people in profit? Because Nazi Germany, after years of study, has found out the techniques of keeping them in submission. One important element of the technique is that of the puppet government. Take the Nazi domination of Norway, for example. The Norwegians have resisted Nazi domination vigorously, and yet their efforts have been almost wholly without success. Norwegian resistance reached its peak in September 1940 some months after the German occupation. A significant meeting of the most influential men in Norway was called after that. Gentlemen, the meeting will come to order. Gentlemen, five different political parties are represented here. The five most important of Norway. This meeting is without precedence in our history. The chair is open to motion from the floor. Mr. Chairman, the chair recognizes the gentleman from Cronheim. Mr. Chairman, gentlemen, this is the most important meeting of our lives. We all know why we are here. Not satisfied with taking Norway into protective custody, the Nazis are setting up a puppet government. We should do something about it. And who do the Nazis killed as our new chief of state? Quisling. Major quisling the traitor. Quisling should be taken care of. There is only one answer to that, gentlemen. Let us forget our differences and stand together. Mr. Chairman, I move that the five political parties are here assembled to form a united front, an anti-quisling front to resist Nazi domination. Here was a determined attempt to fight back. But what happened? Those of suburban and Nazi military commissioner moved immediately against the united front, and in a few days, some gun-tri-parting, here are your orders, Captain. All Norwegian political parties, with the exception of one, have to be dissolved. The headquarters of such parties. Consistence of record. All who we see. Very good, sir. These are five to all parties, but one, and that one is the quisling party, of course. In a few hours, the various headquarters of the united front parties were occupied by Nazi troops. I believe this is a record, though. Locked in its death, Captain. And don't be so camped. There are your records, sir. All the important members, right? Yes, sir. Make this to the chief of police. He will find it very useful. The heads of the Norwegian police were tools of the Nazis. With these lists supplied by the Nazis, police chief started to rid the police force of so-called undesirable. Officer of the Jordan Sun, political affiliation, Social Democrat? Yes, sir. Officer House report, political affiliation, liberal? Yes, sir. Officer Hanslein, political affiliation, progressive? Yes, sir. Officer Hammerfest, political affiliation, whizzling? Whizzling. I'm out here in the sun. Officer Schreinracht, political affiliation, liberal? Yes, sir. Officer Lund, political affiliation, liberal? Yes, sir. Thus, the Nazis have set up a puppet government. All government officials are quizzling. All police officers are quizzling. A special battalion of quizzling soldiers called the Regiment Nordland has been organized and put under the command of German officers. Now, the Nazis dominate Norway with little effort because of Norwegian faith. Most of the German soldiers have been withdrawn and sent to France and Russia or Africa. Proof? Here it is. If you want to see these facts in cold print, read Thomas Reveley's book, The Spoils of Europe. Turn to page 73. But Norway is not the only faith for the Nazis. They've created puppet government. There are traitors at the head of all subjugated countries. In Czechoslovakia. The National Union Party will cooperate fully with the Nazis. In Belgium. The rector's party believes in collaboration with a greater right. In Holland. National Union Party will cooperate fully with the Nazis. In Belgium. The rector's party believes in collaboration with a greater right. In Holland. This puppet government is not the only one the Nazis use to keep down the conflict. Another and very simple technique is that of garbage. This technique has been frequently used in Poland. In the fall of 1941, at the Warsaw headquarters of Hans Frank, Nazi governor of Poland, the Soviet Union Party, the Soviet Union Party, the Soviet Union Party, the Soviet Union Party, the Soviet Union Party, Nazi governor of Poland, an emergency call came through. Headquartered. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. regiment of German soldiers. So, Reed-Louis L. Lawen's book, The Economic Consequences of the Second World War, D. Chapter 7 and 8. But now let us consider a third Nazi technique of domination, control of the weapons of warfare. The Nazis today are moving munitions factories from the occupied countries into Germany proper. Unitions factories still located in the concentration territories are under Nazi control. No matter how energetically the oppressed people talked to over for the conquerors, the problem of securing weapons is a hopeless obstruction. Take plans at this moment. For example, in one time... Who is on the lookout here? Yeah, good, good. We can begin now. Jan's around. Jan, you will give the report concerning the warehouse rate. Most of what has occurred, you know already. Both have broken to the warehouse at the roots of arms. Guns and ammunition were taken. The Nazis discovered us leaving the warehouse. Only eight of us escaped. Of the four missing, three were killed. Paul Bovean was wounded. He died this morning. As to the results of the raid, we secured 53 rifles, six revolvers, eight boxes of cartridges for the rifles. No cartridges at all for the revolvers. That's the report. Yes, yes, but there must be another raid soon. Perhaps Sunday night. It will be a plan before an RPS. Madam Devo. Thanks. There must be no more. That's great. Madam Devo, we must have arms. The price is too high. For I did in four days. What are we doing? 63 rifles. Five. Set up 5,000 police in the city and each is armed with a submachine gun. And not quite 10 miles away are two regiments of Nazi soldiers. They have tanks, not rifles, tanks. But they're out on the ground groups all over France. Not all of these quits? No, no, not quits, but queens. We gentle the soldiers a force to the God if I could rush them and leave them in America. If that never happened. Oh, then we're lost. We try to fight without each other. We're weapons of suicide. We grow weaker. Not stronger, but that game must come when the Germans are pushed on all fronts. Then, if we are, then we'll fight on his end. That's all I had to say. You have had Madam Devo. Does anyone disagree? Very well. This then is our last meeting. If you want to fully understand how completely the Nazis have disarmed the Corkin countries, read Thomas Cernan's France on Berlin Times. He paid 58. But the Nazis have one final technique of domination, perhaps the most effective of all. The conquered people will not be permitted to acquire any technical skills or specialized training. They will be permitted to perform only heavy manual labor or routine jobs in mass production industries. In another generation, knowledge will be the exclusive monopoly of Germany. The Nazis have already put this policy into effect. If the labor gang sent to Germany a man of all nationality, among them skilled workers and professional men permitted now to do only manual labor. Six years studying medicine at the University of Paris. Look at me now at six figures. Picking in the church. Hot work. It's hot. Odd. Who cares? I was an automobile mechanic in Oslo. Six months more of it and I'll be fit for nothing else. Don't the Nazis need mechanics? Not Norwegian mechanics. Mechanical knowledge is dangerous. The Nazis make a monopoly of it. They make a monopoly of education, too. Well, what are you? Check. A history in Prague. Now the Nazis write their own histories and hide the ditches. You are a Hullander. Yes. And a bookkeeper. And a good bookkeeper. These days all books are in reading. And bookkeepers dig ditches. All of us dig ditches. How democratic are the Nazis? Yes. Quite. You'll find short for democracy and loss. We check for our Hullander here and our Norwegian say for. All of us for democracy. All of us lost. But the Nazis give it to us. They make us all equal. Equal. Yeah. Equal. All bitch-nickers. In another generation, all knowledge will die out among the conquered peoples and then, unfortunately, they will be perfectly suited to play the role the Nazis have selected for them. That of slave. How can slaves revolt? What chance of the occupied countries against their puppet government? What chance without r? What chance when their food supply may be cut off anytime the Nazis will it? Don't elude yourself. No one else is going to win this war for you. You must win it yourself. You have been listening to episode 8 series entitled You can't do business with Hitler.
