Description:
He is sending the first of a series of articles about the situation in Germany. He cannot conceive of Hitler in England, but adds that Bottomly has something of Hitler in him; a closer parallel might be found in America. As far as he is aware, 'so prodigious a charlatan never swept a whole country as Hitler has swept Germany.' He is toning the articles down, as the truth sounds too fantastic to be believed. 'A meeting addressed by Hitler, Göbbels, or the other leaders is simply a mob that lynches in imagination.' Ebbutt of The Times told him that he felt physically sick on attending such a meeting for the first time.
Arnold Zweig has written a letter to the editor. His book, Serjeant Grischa, has made him famous in England. He is a Zionist. He suggests that Sacher, Leonard Woolf and others might respond to it. Breitscheid will also write. He refers to payment for letters. He encloses a recent photograph of Hitler, taken at the meeting where he promised every woman a husband.
