His words this week simply advanced the German psychological offensive to a new stage...
...agents have combed Kurt Schuschnigg's accounts, intimate letters and diplomatic correspondence in search of evidence to support the charges against him, and that a peculiarly ingenious device has been invented to break his will: Twice a day Prisoner Schuschnigg is forced to listen to the voices of Adolf Hitler and Propaganda Minister Goebbels, vilifying him at the top of their lungs, from phonograph records...
