sionally sounded like a poor imi
tation of Hitler's, was based al
most entirely on an attempt to
preserve the German nation from
its Inner and 'other enemies,
which Hitler claimed his national
socialist movement accomplished
in 1923.
He charged the allies directly
with Instigating the plots against
his life in the "one hope that
they could deliver a decisive stab
in the interior of our country
as was always the case when they
did not know how to achieve suc
cesses against Germany in an
other way."
Hitler's proclamation said the
plotters hoped to break German
resistance at its root by striking
at him, and he added:
."As long as I am alive, Ger
many will not suffer the fate of
European states which have been
overrun by . bolsheviks, as . long
as there is a breath left in me,
my body and my soul will serve
only one thought to make my
people strong in defense and at
tack against the most mortal
peril that is threatening lt." '
The proclamation indicated the
nazis possibly were contempla
ting another blood purge. It re
called that the ranks were
cleansed in the 1934 revolt and
after the July 20 attempt on Hit
ler's life, warning:
"Whoever today uses a dagger
or bomb against Germany will
be destroyed without mercy , and
without consideration . . . The
time for people who like to make
compromises or reservations - is
definitely over."
The Stockholm Morgon Tid
nlngen said the clandestine At
lantic radio reported that 4,000,
000 copies of a proclamation by
Himmler appointing himself "the
new German fuehrer" had been
printed and were ready In Berlin
for fast distribution the moment
Hitler no longer was able to ex
ercise power.
