NAZI YOUTH MARCH THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE
In 1940 German teachers entered classrooms and cried out " God punish England " The pupils would reply " He will! "
By 1914 the famed economic historian Werner Sombart had discovered that the English did not deserve to rank amongst the nations of heroes. They were more a nation of traders, in this they were akin to the Jews rather than the Germans. It was but a short step from this thesis to the later cry that the English were " the Jews amongst Aryan peoples "
Throughout 1940 Nazi propagandists worked hard in many media to develop the mature concept of " plutocracy " Speakers presented the British as a nation of Judaised money-lenders, as people who lived by the stock market and Freemason lodges, propagandists contrasted this alleged lack of culture with a Germanic world that had brought forth Goethe, Beethoven and Hitler.The theme that began to dominate propaganda by early 1940 however, was the description of Britain as a retrogressive land of slums, unemployment, and social inequality.
