THE MYTH OF GERMAN VILLAINY
CHAPTER 14 - Hitler Begins Reclamation of German Territory: One of Hitler’s goals as chancellor was to make Germany whole again. He was determined to regain control of lands taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles, but also to bring ethnic Germans living outside the Reich back into Germany. If his plans were to have any chance of succeeding, however, it would first be necessary for Germany to re-arm. The Treaty of Versailles limited Germany to a total of 100,000 men at arms, a pitifully inadequate military force to support his ambitions. After mulling over what to do, Hitler convened a meeting with the Army’s General Staff and members of his cabinet on March 15, 1935, and announced his decision Germany would openly defy the military limitations set by the Treaty of Versailles and re-arm. All enthusiastically approved. Propaganda Minister Goebbels held a press conference the very next day and announced to the world that Hitler decided Germany would reintroduce military conscription and build a new army consisting of 36 divisions, totaling 550,000 men. This was a brazen violation of the Treaty of Versailles, and an open invitation for retaliation by Britain and France. German leaders then waited anxiously to see how Britain and France would react. Some of the more cautious generals worried France might a9ack Germany immediately. After all, France was well-armed with the largest army in Europe, and Germany would have been powerless to defend itself. But nothing happened; absolutely nothing. Hitler had gambled and won.
CHAPTER 15 - 1936 Summer Olympics. Berlin won the bid over Barcelona, its number one contender, in April 1931, to host the 1936 Summer Olympics. The bid for the games had been won two years before the National Socialists assumed the leadership in Germany, but when they did, American Jewish organizations immediately demanded some other venue be chosen for the games other than Berlin. The AJCongress and the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC) staged rallies to oppose America’s participation in the games if the games were not moved out of Berlin. NYC-based JLC—founded in 1934 in response to German National Socialism—promoted (and continues to promote) “labor union interests in Jewish communities, and Jewish interests within unions.” President of the United States Olympic Committee Avery Brundage, to his very great credit, decided, despite this pressure, that America would participate in Berlin as scheduled. International Jewry already had a propaganda campaign underway against the National Socialists long before they came into office, and Brundage took the view the attempted boycott of the Games was just another “Jewish-communist conspiracy” against Germany, which, of course, it was. Jewish athletes were not being treated unfairly in any way by anyone, he stated, but the Jews were nevertheless relentless.
