A -16 h/ stood in an increased mass: in a country where free public opinion is suppressed by all means, it can be much less uniform than in a free country. With this reservation, the two subsequent reports of neutral travellers, which reflect the mood in West Germany, must also be accepted. 1. Report: Already in the course of this I got into conversation with SS-people, who were very important and who went into bragging. Poland is finished and no one, neither England nor France will be able to wake it up again to new state life. Especially England, which in this war, if it really should continue, will be destroyed. The raid on Poland has made some people who I used to know as quiet and very backward towards the system quite crazy. Also the women. I met a woman who had always treated me very nicely. Now she was quite excited and immediately fell over me with accusations. We - i.e. my countrymen and I - the woman said, had the fault that everything had come to this end. To my astonished question, how we, who are neutral, could be to blame, this woman said: Yes, one knows that, one would only do so. She knows this hypocritical method, which is only used for this purpose, to stay out of the war beautifully. In reality, there is no neutrality. Everything is lug and deceit. The English, these merchants, rushed the whole world against Germany just because they did not want to turn away from their wealth. And they let others fight for themselves. Why does England, Germany, not leave us to deal with other things with Poland alone? Because one is afraid that Germany can become too strong. But England will see in this war what it has. This time it would have ended with the English supremacy. Even more crazy than before the Nazis have become. Yes, well, they say, we know that Hitler wanted this war to go to Poland. Indeed, one approves the joint action of Hitler and Stalin. Hitler had put England in, that he had got ahead of the English. Russia would be dealt with. Hitler would already stop the Russians at a suitable time. "It is time for the English to finally be shown that they can't control the world forever". The only reason for this was the Führer's tactics.
