TRANSLATION OF G.39, NACH HITLERS STURZ
AFTER HITLER’S FALL
Today the vital question for Germany is: Is the war to be prolonged or shortened?
Hitler is determined to prevent Germany from deciding this for themselves. He cannot,
however, prevent them asking questions.
Here are 7 important questions and the answers:
(1) Can Hitlerite Germany reckon on a compromise peace?
Answer: No. In the Treaty of London, England and Russia, with the approval of the United
States, have reaffirmed their determination never to negotiate with the Hitler regime or with
any other German Government which does not renounce all aggressive designs.
(2) Does Hitler’s defeat mean Germany’s destruction?
Answer: No. Time and again, first in September 1939 and most recently on the 21st May, 1942,
the British Government has stated that it has two aims: (i) To destroy the Hitler Tyranny, and (ii)
To enable each of the peoples of Europe, including the German, to rebuild a State after the war
which ensures to each individual impartial justice, freedom of speech and freedom of coalition;
and secures him from unemployment and economic exploitation.
Hitler’s defeat, therefore, means not Germany’s destruction, but Germany’s salvation from
destruction.
(3) Will England hand over the German people to Bolshevism?
Answer: The British and Russian Governments in article 5 of the London Treaty have pledged
themselves not to interfere in the internal affairs of other States, once Hitler’s War Machine has
been destroyed and a repetition of aggression rendered impossible. The United States has
adopted the same attitude. Thus the “Bolshevik menace” is unmasked as what it always was, a
“Red Bogey”.
(4) Does Hitler’s defeat mean unemployment and inflation for Germany?
Answer: In the world of today, the prosperity of each people depends on the prosperity of all.
There can be no enduring peace and no prosperity so long as one people tries to make itself a
Herrenvolk. England and the United States, in the Atlantic Charter, have pledged themselves, in
their own interests, to tolerate no economic victimisation of the vanquished. The Atlantic
Charter was accepted by the Russian Government as the basis of its own policy and was once
again reinforced by the Treaty of London. After Hitler’s fall, therefore, Germany, like other
countries, can achieve once again a prosperity based on an enduring peace.
(5) Does Hitler’s fall mean a “Super Versailles”?
Answer: The assertion that the United Nations will impose a “Super Versailles” is a flat lie. Be
it noted that a Super Versailles exists already – Hitler has imposed it on Europe. The United
Nations are determined to avoid three mistakes of Versailles.
The first mistake was: The Allies were too lenient in their treatment of the men responsible for
German militarism. The United Nations are determined this time to make a final settlement
with them.
The second mistake of the Versailles Settlement was: it did not take adequate measures for the

economic prosperity and reconstruction of Europe. The United Nations are determined, in their
own interests, this time to take adequate measures to this end.
The third mistake was neither Russia nor America participated in the Settlement and in the
pacification of Europe. The United Nations are determined not to repeat this mistake.
(6) Does England expect the German people to assist in the destruction of the Hitler
regime?
Answer: England is not blind to the difficulties of the Germans of all classes who are against
Hitler. To these Germans we say:
“The United Nations will smash Hitler’s War Machine. If the German people hasten Hitler’s
fall, that means the saving of millions of human lives. We know that a rising against Hitler must
cost lives. But the number of these lives will only be a fraction of those which Hitler will
sacrifice every day in the vain attempt to escape his defeat.
The roots of German militarism must be destroyed by the German people itself. The sooner the
better. Until such time as the German people has freed itself from militarism England and her
Allies will remain armed in order to prevent a third world war.
(7) What does this mean for Germany?
Answer: Germany’s real enemies are those who are prolonging the war.
Germany can have peace tomorrow if it frees itself from Hitler and militarism – a peace
of freedom and justice.
