Last week another curious and unannounced by-product of the Hitler-Stalin "agreements" came dramatically to light. As the advance guard of 21,000 Red Army troops, supported by 400 tanks, marched in to protect little Estonia from the threats of "imperialist adventurers," some 18,000 German-speaking Estonians, descendants of the Teutonic Knights and Hanseatic merchants who had settled in the Eastern Baltic six and seven centuries ago, made haste to get out. Further south, in Latvia, 60,000 Balts-as the Germans are known in the Baltic-simultaneously began a mass migration back to the "spiritual homeland" they...
...Short Notice. Astounding as it was that Adolf Hitler, exponent of Pan-Germanism, should relinquish so lightly one of the oldest European outposts of German commerce and culture, the details of this mass migration were even more amazing. The Balts first learned that they were to be sent back to Germany on a Saturday, when German diplomats first broached the subject to the Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian Governments.

It was also consistent with mutual Soviet-German declarations that Hitlerism is for the Germans and Bolshevism for the Slavs, but that the two do not necessarily mix. But the unseemly haste with which the evacuation began suggested that here was a complicating detail of his new policy which the Führer had overlooked until the last minute, and that, far from...
...only free but without presentation of ration cards. Two hundred fellow office workers were treated to free beer by a Berliner who has two sons and a son-in-law at the front-the beer cost him a month's salary. Meanwhile at least one group of the Hitler Youth, after holding a special meeting to celebrate the Führer's latest triumph, rang doorbells and spread the news...
