Abstract

Focuses on German Dictator Adolf Hitler's intentions on the U.S. as revealed in an interview of Joseph Goebbels, German Propaganda Minister to John Cudahy, American Minister to Belgium. Report that the Nazi General Staff, it seems, had canvassed all possibilities and concluded that an invasion of the U.S. was not feasible; Intentions behind Goebbels' assurance; Speculation on the possible invasion of the U.S. if Great Britain is smashed by Nazis; View that the recent protestations of Hitler and his propaganda lords have no reliability; Information on the possible expansion plans of Hitler; View that even if Hitler had an inclination to call a halt at the full tide of victory, there are forces within the Nazi system itself that would prevent him; View that he can maintain his type of power over a Nazified Europe only by projecting his European economy into a world economy; Information on the Nazi political system and its ideology; View that anyone with even the most elementary knowledge of Nazi writings on the U.S. knows that Americans have always hung before Nazi eyes as a succulent prize; View that Hitler's megalomania has caused him to think of himself as a world conqueror and to reserve a special hatred and avidity for the U.S.
