The sensationalist newspapers lie when they say:The Nazis are capitalist hirelings, the paid soldiers of capitalism.
The Red Jewish press has proclaimed for years in various ways that the NSDAP is supported by big capital. But up to today, these miserable liars have not been able to name a single case.
They always attempt to prove their transparent lying agitation with every sort of fabrication. For example, the Münchner Post, the leading organ of the SPD in Bavaria, ran the following falsification in issue Nr. 68 of 242 March 1931, which was spread by the entire Social Democratic press:
“In the Pay of Business
Hitler’s secret letter
Reich Business office, Brown House
Munich, Briennerstr. 45
Tel. 56 0 65 - 67
Postscheckkonto 11262
Munich, 4 March 1931
To the Gauleiter of County Hesse, Darmstadt
Secret H./R.
15,000 RM has been donated to the campaign fund for Gau Hesse, from the following firms: Councilor of Commerce Dykerhoff, Dr. A. Dykerhoff, Engineer A. Gastell, as well as directors Schindler and Jung.
These contributions obligate us to choose some of our most loyal S.A. people for future job openings, who will strongly oppose the increase in communist elements in the relevant factories, and do all they can to increase our strength in factory elections.
Only in that way, with the help of the greatest possible amount of propaganda effort by each individual S.A. man, can we force a breach among the support of the Red Front party, and thereby gain final victory for our Third Reich!
For future job openings, we must send only our best and most loyal S.A. people to the factories of the above-named party comrades. Experienced people should be the first choices.
The Gauleitung is to pass on the information to the country and local group leaders.
signed A. Hitler”
Even the style and tone of his ridiculous letter make it easy to determine where to look for its writer. But this is not only a miserable, slanderous falsification, but also an unusually blatant and filthy one.
First, there is not a letterhead with the heading: “Reich Business office, Brown House.”
Second, the Post Bank account number 11263 is wrong. The party’s Munich account is 23319.
Third, the NSDAP does not have a Gauleiter of County Hessen-Darmstadt.
Things have to be very bad for a party when it has to resort to such filthy and insolent falsifications in its political battles.
When the Nordwoll Company collapsed a few months ago, the Red lying press claimed that its head Lahusen had been a contributor to the Nazi movement. The big Bremen swindler Lahusen was financing the NSDAP.
The sensationalist newspapers wrote:
“Mr. G. Karl Lahusen is one of the biggest financial supporters of the NSDAP! During the Reichstag election, it was revealed that G. Karl Lahusen tolerated and supported Nazi agitators in his office.”
After the election, he gave a lot of money to Storm Troop leader Tidow.”
Who is this Mr. Lahusen? The best information comes from a letter that G. Karl Lahusen send to his friend Jakob Goldschmidt in September 1930, which the well-known financier passed on to Vorwärts In this letter, G. Karl Lahusen wrote:
“I have no hesitation in saying to you that I see the effects of the National Socialist Party as harmful to Germany’s development.”
This letter was used by the sensationalist press on 30 November 1930, the day before the city election in Bremen, as propaganda against the Nazis.
In Lahusen’s factories, there was a nasty sniffing out of Nazis, and those who were suspected of belonging to the NSDAP were fired. Storm Troop Leader Tidow made a public statement about these miserable goings on, which also refuted the lie about Lahusen’s financial support for the Nazis:
“It is not true that Mr. Lahusen or people working for him employed or supported National Socialist agitators.
Instead, it is true that I was disciplined for being a National Socialist member of the factory council.
It is not true that I received large sums of money after the election of 14 September from Mr. G. Karl Lahusen because I was a National Socialist Storm Troop leader.
Instead, it is true that I never received even a penny from Mr. Lahusen, nor any office of the Nordwolle concern because I was the Storm Troop leader of Storm 2, Bremen, Standart II/W.E., nor as a National Socialist member of the factory council, nor as a party comrade and member of the Gauleitung of the Hitler Youth of Weser-Ems, Bremen.
Signed: Walter Georg Tidow, former factory council representative of the North German Wool Chamber and Worsted Spinning Mill in Bremen”
Party comrade Tidow has further things to say about how National Socialist workers were treated by the famed big swindler and Jewish lackey Lahusen:
As a former member of the factory council of Nordwolle in Bremen, I declare that during my membership on the factory council between July 1930 and May 1931, I endured serious attacks from the personnel department and Department “A” (Employee and Worker Questions) because I was a National Socialist. Department “A” sabotaged my election to the factory council, and despite my legitimate election, tried to remove me from the factory council, and I was forbidden to display my party membership badge.
After these reactionary circles within Department “A” did not succeed in removing me from the factory council, I was
fired and disciplined!!
The head of the personnel department of the NDK, state parliament representative Franz Hartong (DVP!) declared publicly in Oldenburg before the state parliament election that the National Socialists were much more dangerous than the Social Democrats!! — That is the truth about the supposed financier of the Nazis.
Signed Walter Georg Tidow, Hanover.”
More than that, we hear from a well-informed source that the Lahusen’s oldest brother was a member of the State Party, and alongside this group also made a contribution to the Social Democratic Party’s election fund on 14 September. In particular, this Lahusen financed the so-called “worker training schools,” Social Democratic functionary training schools.
The Red liars make this bitter NSDAP opponent into a “financier of the Nazis.” Wherever one looks one finds lies, nothing but lies.
