One of the problems of the
post-war period for the United
Nations will be the "re-educating
of the Nazi youths." It will
be quite a Job to knock the
aboriginal cussedness, and in
grown bullheadedness out of
them. They must not be "en
slaved," a fate their masters
planned for the rest of the
world, with Germans doing the
bossing. The teachers should be
the peoples of conquered lands.
With no restrictions, they should
be empowered to slap the Nazi
youths up to a peak, and then
knock the peak off.
