What Hitler Said

What Adolf Hitler went to Munich to say, and what he almost lost his life saying (see above), was that Germany was now resolved to lick "England," and might take up to five years to do it.

"We are fighting for the security of our people, for 'living space' in which we will not be told what to do by others," cried he. "We will now speak to the British in the language they will probably best understand."

Germans noted that the Fuehrer repeated exactly the "historic phrases" he hurled against Poland on Sept. 1, the day the German Army began talking to the Poles with bombs and bullets. The talk about a long war was tempered by the announcement that unexplained "favorable developments in the food situation" made it possible to increase somewhat the tiny food rations on which the Fatherland subsists (TIME, Oct. 9). Germans were promised that during December, "in honor of the holiday season," they will each be able to buy an extra pound of meat, three-quarters of a pound of rice, one-half pound of butter, six eggs and three ounces of chocolate.
