THE CARDINAL
VOL. XXIX, NO.ll
German
Addresses
Students
A German soldier who failed in
an •attempt to kill Hitler in 1·943
said that the thought of Germans
in the resistance movement was
that "Germany must not be liber­ated.
We must rid ourselves of
Hitler."
Embassy Visitor
Axel vom dem 1Bussche, second
secretary in the West German
Embassy in Washington, spoke at
the University of Louisville last
Monday and Tuesday. Vom dem
Bussche spoke on the character of
the German people prior to and
dul'ling the Second World War.
He said, "There was no experi­ence
in German history as to how
to tackle a criminal government.
'rhe idea for a German to go
against his government is much
harder .than in an Anglo-Saxon
country." In moral terms Ger­many
had not suffered under a
criminal government before. It
was new."
Psychology
Von dem Bussche traced the ac­tions
of the German people in­dividuaUy
and those actions
forced upon them .by Hitler's mass
psychology administered under
Goebels.
He told of the ·propaganda used
to make the Germans want to
fight a war. Under Hitler's dicta­torship
Germany for the first
time in its history had a unified
press and radio. This was used by
Hitler oo give the people only the
news he wanted them to have.
The truth of the war crimes was
only known by a few.
Accurate Picture
Von dem Bussche presented to
U of L audiences a picture of the
German people during that period
of history. This was to give an
insight into the character of Ger­many
today.
