Nazi "Dictator"

Gauleiter E. Wilhelm Bohle Ah Ready; He Prepares His Men Hitler has chosen the man who will be Nazi dictator of Britain—if Germany wins the war. The man is Gauleiter E. Wilhelm Bohle, as reported in the "North-China Daily News" a few weeks ago, born in Bradford, Yorkshire, thirty-six years ago of German parents—but still entitled to British nationality and a British passport.

He will be installed in London, but the Nazis have not yet fixed his official residence, nor the date on which he will take office, They have decided to await events, Meanwhile, according to reports reaching Amsterdam from Berlin, Hitler's preparations for dealing with Britain after the war are in full swing.

It will become a place for lucrative jobs for Nazi leaders, in industry as well as in administration, and intrigues have already begun for these posts.

They have not won the war yet, formed at Bad Tolz high in the Bavarian Alps, and at Marburg, old Prussian. university town, Here picked S.S. men, the black-shirted elite of the Nazi Party, are working night and day, studying English and the other details "of ruling Britons."
