Disavowing the - Nazi party and its former fuhrer, they try to prove that the German army and its gen- erals have nothing in common with Hitlerism. Even Goering, Hitler’s closest henchman and acomplice, the man who in- spired and-organized the mur- derous air raids en London and Warsaw, Kiev and Coventry} Paris and Rotterdam, even he tries to disassociate himself from the Nazi party and to post as an “opponent” of Hit- ler. Not much capacity is needed _ to guess the aim of the authors < of these new legends. Their ob- ' ject is not only to escape re- §° sponsibility for the bloody ad- venture of Hitlerism, but also : to create prerquisites for sav- | ing the German general staff— the hotbed of German militar- ism and aggression. THEY ARE GUILTY During the whole of its ex- istence, the German general staff was not merely the de- partment carrying out definite military functions; it was also -the leading organ of German ageressive policy. In his mem- oirs Buelow, the former Chan- eellor of the German Empire, said that a characteristic trait of the German generals was “their itching for expansion and greedy appetite for annex- ations.” -It was the German general staff that had begotten both the military and stratégic schemes of annexations and the political theories called upon to justify the aggressive aspira- tions of the German militarists. It is now no longer a secret to anyone that the notorious “geo- political grounds” for German agression worked out by Haas- hofer and Banse of the German General Staff paved the way for Hitler’s “lebensraum” the- ory.

Now, how..could they destroy that bridge without the help of mines or dynamite? The only solution was to saw the wooden planks by hand, and when the trucks came by their weight would cause the bridge to collapse. Soon, the sounds of the Jap- anese trucks came nearer and nearer. Qur commander ordered us to fire on the first truck with our only machine gun—the one we had captured from the Jap- anese. The driver of the first truck and his companion were killed, so that the truck blocked the road and the other three trucks had to stop ‘and turn their machine guns on us—but we were nowhere in sight. N being told of the unconditional surrender of Germany, Hitler’s -Rundstedt, now in captivity, declared, the foundation for tions for the Second. were all guided by one aim: striving for German domina- tion not only in Europe but also in the whole world. These aspirations had been blossoming with particular ex- uberance since Hitler came to power in, Germany. The advent of Hitler opened up for the German generals the most favorable opportunities for the preparation of new ag- gression. Brauchitsch and Kei- tel, Stuelpnagel and Rundstedt, Reichenau and Guderian — all of them and their like, hand-in- glove with Hitler, Goering, Hess and other Nazi bosses, by their joint efforts prepared Germany for a new world war and kindled its conflagration. In the course of these prepar- ations and during the war itself the German genral staff actu- ally coalesced with the Nazi party. The German generals not only executed but also worked out and prepared Hit- ler’s orders. The bloodthirsty prepara- orders of Reichenau in no way’ differed from the man-hating ravings of the fuhrer. Nazi ideology and practice are abso- lutely _inseparable from the ideology and practice of the German generals, of the Ger- man militarists. And if now, after the des- tructon of Hitlerist Germany, the German generals are trying to justify not only themselves btt also their general staff; it is done only with the view of helping to revive German mili- tarism and aggression in the future. It is not surprising that several German military people who got into Sweden under the guise of refugees declare, ac- cording to the Swedish news- paper Expressen that “the time will come when Germany will recapture everything that was taken from her. . .” However, the events which took place after the first world They _ We destroyed the Samchun Bridge with the Japanese mines, burned down their quar- ters, and destroyed their com- munication lines. The next day, the Japanese sent half a dozen : bombers. and. destroyed the ‘town of Samechun. They also sent reinforcements to mop up the town. After that, practically every day for a week, Japanese planes bombed our position. We shot down one Japanese plane that was flying low, but the pilot escaped. In the meantime, we had grown from one thousand mem- bers to thirteen hundred. We mobilized one unit into a farm unit, raising vegetables, grow- ing rice, and raising pigs and chickens; one unit to clean up the city after the Japanese bombings and to help the far- Field Marshal “This is not the fault of the German army.

To achieve this it is essential that the-historic decisions of the Crimea conference of the three leading Alied powers are fully carried out.

Then the Kwangtung govern- ment set up a committee in Weiying district to buy these materials from the civilians, in- forming them that these pur- chases were for our own gov- ernment to uSe against the Japanese. Of course, the people were willing to sell to this committee, even at the sacri- fice of a few dollars in the transaction. However, thé head of the com- mittee, Hor Ping Kwong, turn- ed traitor and sold to the Hong Kung agents who sold to the Japanese. The committee was sending these materials to Hong Kong through Sar Yu Chung seaport, and when we tried to stop them we were informed that the materials were being turned over to Britain and Am- erica in trade for ammunition for China. We allowed them to go by, but we found out definitely that that was not the case. Instead, there were millions of dollars invested in an agency in Hong Kong operated by high Chinese officials that loaded these ma- terials onto Japanese ships at Hong Kong. Thus, we took it upon our- selves to stop these shipments from Sar Yu Chung. We seized the materials and sent them back to-tht committee. The first few times, Hor Ping Kwong commended us for our good work of patrolling. Then, when it happened so’ often, he sent military forces to guard the shipments from Sar Yu Chung, giving us the same story about the transaction be- tween the Chinese government and America and Britain. We knew that was not the truth and when we tried.to stop the shipments from leaving the country the government forces started the battle with-us. We were able to defeat them, so we took possession of the materi- als. Then the committee sent for our commander, but he re- fused to go. Instead, he sent our assistant commander, Chang Pak Ming. Hor Ping Kwong tried to persuade Chang Pak Ming to discontinue his activi- ties. He said, “Why can’t you join with us, and make a for- tune, too?” HE asked Chang Pak Ming to join the Kuomintang, and when he refused he said, “If you refuse to join the Kuomin- tang, you must be a Commun- ist.” Chang Pak Ming replied, “I am not a Communist, either. I do not wish any part. in politics. All I’m interested in is to win the peéple’s war—China’s war —against. Japan.” When Chang Pak Ming re- mained firm in his stand, they locked him up. However, by morning, he had prevailed upon his guard to escape with him back to Pingshan. Then, a week later (March the 6th, 1941), two divisions of the Central Army, commanded by Yang Mun, arrived to at- tack us. We were well prepared for this move, however. Five o’clock in the morning one div- jsion surrounded us with mod- ern equipment, and two men carrying white flags came over and ordered us to lay down our arms. Our commander said their demand was not fair be- cause we: were fighting to pro- tect our country. The spokesman said -we had half an hour to abide by their demand. After that, they would start firing on-us at once. Our commander ordered us to resist until the very last man. Soon they started artillery fire on us from all directions. The firing continued for half an hour. By that time, they were closing in on us, up to our first defense line; so we set off our mines and killed hundreds of them. —Conitinued on Page 14 ae) ee kk ARK KK EDK KK ood Reading Try These Russia Is No Riddle Edmund Stevens $4.00 Soviet Union and Peace, Proposals, Conventions, Treaties $2.25 $2.25 $3.00 Major Lewis Hout Nym Wales PLUS POSTAGE -.. $3.50 Se) * oe a | 2 |S [2a | | 2 [te [te [2 [a [> PEOPLE’S BOOKSTORE 420 West Pender Street Phone MArine 5836 Da eee KK RR OR RR RT SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1945. ~ Pela EDR KR A ERE
