God & No. 7

The No. 7 Nazi is a Balt, Dr. Alfred Rosenberg. This Balt edits the Voelkischer Beobachter, personal newsorgan of Adolf Hitler. As a Balt he wants Der Fuehrer to conquer with all speed his native Baltic lands as well as the Ukraine, this Nazi program being the famed "Rosenberg Plan." The Balt is a specialist not only in journalism and foreign affairs but also in religion. He regards Christianity with suspicion but feels that the Son-of-God concept has its points. Last week Dr. Rosenberg addressed himself to Germans who believe that Adolf Hitler is the Son of God but are scoffed at by some of their friends.

Pontificated Dr. Rosenberg from his Department for the Ideological Training of the Future German Nation: "We need a Son of God. . . . Today there stands among us one who has been especially blessed by the Creator. No one has the right to find fault with those of our people who have found their Son of God and have thus regained their Eternal Father."

In German daily papers most death notices still refer to God, but last week a fast-gaining formula was to advertise that the German deceased "died in the faith of Adolf Hitler." The Cologne Court of Appeals upheld last week the decision of the lower court which recently jail-sentenced a Cologne smart aleck who replied to a greeting of "Heil Hitler!" by saying "Heil London!" According to the Court of Appeals, this is a "gross misdemeanor" like spitting on the Cross.
