 You can't do business with Hitler. 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 5. Mass Murder. Douglas Miller speaking. Hitler's new order for Europe provides for the expansion of Germany until Germans occupy all of Europe. Not only for the present, but for all times. But to claim all Europe, Hitler must eliminate its present population. Thus, for Hitler and his followers, organized, systematic, unemotional mass murder and depopulation have become the means of getting rid of capitalist people and dispelling forever any such a Hitler's new order. Not radio. It was announced to Berlin tonight that 150 Poles have been executed for unseeding the German advance in Russia. Created tonight in Berlin, 123 checks were executed last week. Among them were of any prominent distance. Radio Salient. From Krooster comes the report that 180,000 Serbs have been executed since the early part of August. Radio Berlin. The Ministry of Propaganda announced today that 1,000 were executed throughout Europe during the past week for acts of rebellion and sabotage against the German eyes. I am Hitler. These are factual reports from the capitals of Europe. But it is long for us to assume that these reports of executions and depopulation are isolated acts of terror to spoil rebellion. I claim they go much deeper than that and I can prove it. I claim that these executions are the result of the Nazis' deliberate and fundamental policy of exterminating racial groups. A scientific plan to get rid of so-called inferior people so that German farmers and workers may occupy the conquered lands. The Nazis have developed no standard techniques of depopulation. They use whatever means are available. They merely select an area that is desirable to them and ruthlessly get rid of its inhabitants either by shifting them to other localities or by executing them. The harsh extermination of the people of Abbeville that occupied France which took place in January 1941 is typical. Abbeville, the coast of France, January 1941. It's nice to drop a hook into the water again, eh Jacques? Even knowing the Nazis have dragged us all and taken every fish does not matter. Man does not need fish. Fish, a little line, a pole, even if only a bed pin. You call me? I think you have caught something. Jacques, you have caught a fish. Even a little one. No, no, big one. Do you? Jacques, that is not a fish. No? Look there. In the water. Alone. A body. Look, there are many of them. Many of them. You go. We must leave this place. Come. Shall we stop on the bridge, Marie? They say if you throw a shoe in the sun, right at this spot, any way to make it come through. May I have a shoe, I see? Shall I throw it? Right over there, I see. I see. Nothing? Yes. In the water. What's with them? Crosses, no? I see. What does it mean? I don't know. I think we are in danger. Come. Time, Master. Take your cat and go away there. Go, Lumia. I did not. She told me to bring them here. You know what will happen if I be sure to be. What can I do with them? They might get back to the restaurant already. Well, you must take them. It will be bad for you too. Very well. How many to your heart? 30. All from the river? Stop. 900 bodies in the stomach. What is happening? You will make your apartment, please. Hello? 876 is my mortgage. 876? Good. 876, that's 12,094. You are excused. If you please, Mr. What has happened? Some suicide. Suicide? 12,000. The French are peculiarized. They are like sheep. When one sees another doing something, well, there must be something wrong, Mr. Those I have examined have been meet in the air. They were upset before they were in the water. Really? Here below, perhaps you need a geography lesson. The storm is full of rocks. If one were to jump into the river, he would surely crack his head on the rocks. Come. I will show you how simple it is. Conceivable? Do you need proof? I have proof. A German-controlled newspaper, Nouveau Thong, published in Notified Paris, reported on the 16th of January, 1941, and I quote, Half the population of the town of Abidale and the channeled coast has disappeared in a strange suicidal way that caused the inhabitants of this town to throw themselves into the salt. End quote. Suicide, indeed. The Germans admit that our copies of the body's reveal that nearly all of the so-called suicides had been hit on the head with a blunt instrument. Now, why were the people of Abidale depopulated? Because Abidale is a channeled town needed to house troops for possible invasion of Britain and because the once-class first town is to become German. But there are other ways of Nazi depopulation. Less number dramatic. Just this is it. Starvation, exposure, disease. Encontred grief which never had enough proof. Starvation was the method. By all the social requisition, all the food in this house draw lines. You will gather everything edible and place it on the table. Here. We have nothing to do with this. We'll do it. Very well. I will serve myself. But I am telling the truth. All we have is the truth to pay to us. So let's get it once. The German army of occupation is requisitioning all the food in peace. You will be made no exception. But it's all we have. What will we do? I am sorry, Berlin, but you must realize that there are at present twice as many Greeks as we need here. Half must die. The rich shall become poor and the poor shall die. This is our policy. Incredible? Want proof? Then see Time Magazine for November 24, 1941. And it's not only to grieve that starvation is being applied as an instrument of extermination, but to Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Norway as well. Yet, this is only a fragment of the story of Nazi depopulence. Scientific extermination reaches its most pillarless aspects in the Slavic and East Baltic states where Hitler has relegated to the lowest position in his hierarchy of races. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, So Poland is to be depopulated. How? The freight cars are loaded of enlightenment. I have orders to hold this train. Our freight is increased by 300. Very well, sir. But everybody puts them. The backskirts are loaded to capacity. You will have to make room someplace. My orders are to ship 300 more. Why couldn't they lie on the floor and the others on top of them? 900 miles. They will all be dead soon. I see no alternative. Here are the orders. Very well, sir. 300 more. And like some cherries, I saw what's in the battle. How many are here? 200 blister. 100 narrow cartons. I saw them go in. It took 10,000. That's one. To the right? Right. Where do you come from? Warsaw. I was in business there. I was in business, too. Are there any Jews here? I'm a Jew. I thought you'd all been killed. Oh, now they're killing the Catholics. I'm a Catholic. Where did you see we're going? To the right? To the right. Talking through it? Any children? Yes. Guys, all of a sudden. To these? They were coming to get them. They say that's Piper's there. Piper's? Yes. I keep trying to get away, but I can't. I don't like being with Piper. No, you try. You can't move. You must be going wrong. It's getting cold. I'm shivering. It wouldn't be so cold if you had something to eat. They gave me some bread when I came. I waited in the station two days. Every day they gave me bread. One piece. I had to work you out to have water. Stop it. Or I'll eat. And we're not going to the right. Maybe I was in a concentration camp. It's better than this. Look at it. Can't find things to eat. They're coming. What are we going to do? Everybody stay down. I told you I'm about to go. Go. I've been forced to stay down to go out to bed. I'm already dead here. I'm already dead here. What are you doing here? Just one... Oh, how did he die? Don't tell him. I don't regret it. I just said, he just died. And these? No, he thought the others killed him. Of course. How about that? I think he just came off to the ranch. Since the beginning, the Nazi solution of the Polish and Jewish problems along the new Eastern frontier has been much the same. A greater part of Poland is to be German and is being provided with a new set of German landlords. The Germans need, however, fully slavers to operate their states. But this number is far smaller than the existing population so the surplus has been hurried out of the country. There has been no adequate attempt to provide food, shelter, or employment for these people. They've been dying like flies. This, of course, is what the Nazis want. It reapportions the population of long lines more agreeable to them. It gives the Germans slave labor. And if Hitler's victory is permanent, this slave labor will permit him to undersell every other country in the world. Fantastic? Unbelievable? No, not at all. The best evidence of all is in the writings and speeches of Adolf Hitler himself. When Hermann Ross means both the voice of destruction on page 137, we find the following speech by Adolf Hitler. We are obliged to depopulate as part of our vision of the future of the development of the techniques of depopulation. If you ask me what I mean by depopulation, I have been telling people of an iracial unit. In fact, it seems like a tremendous number of disturbances in the world without the support of these reformists. You can't do business with Hitler. You have been listening to the fifth broadcast in a series entitled You Can't Do Business with Hitler based on the experiences of Douglas Miller, who was, for 15 years, commercial attaché to the American Embassy in Berlin. Listen for the sixth episode in the series which is entitled The Soils of Europe. Douglas Miller reveals the Nazi technique of plundering and moving conquered lands.
