Sir
, it is
pathetic || ridiculous to see
all the
discussion going on about the harmfulness of
the gangster films to the young
while the minds of both
adults
& children
are being systematically
poisoned by the
foul || worst kind
of
Vansit
tart
propaganda made by
the cinema newsreels || newsreel comments in our
cinemas,
& condoned || inspired by
the M.O.P. Can there be anything
more
swinish || foul || evil
than the
gloating war news of
the
British Movietone
News unless it be
that of
Universal News? The gloating over
dead ‘Huns’
, over the old German
cit
ies
flattened || razed to the ground, over
German civilians walking
about || among the ruins
of the
ir
towns?
Everybody knows
about || Nobody
doubts the unspeakable horrors of the Nazi Regime
which are perhaps comparable only to … When they
were in full swing long before the war
had started
& even after it had started we heard very little about them
…
Now || Now that the enemy is completely
finished to use the words all the well known tricks of the
camera & the by far nastier ones of the commentators are
set
into
action || in motion to
make the German
people look || appear like a || represent the German people
to the unthinking cinema goer as one pack of
wolves. The commentators are worthy pupils of
Dr
. Goebbels, of
the worst kind of Germans. We are not writing
this letter in what
would be a
crazy expectation to open the eyes of the blind, but to
direct the attention of the seeing to a horrid evil
, the lying
propaganda
, the germ of Nazism itself.
