- NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—(AP)—The New York Post says today that the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin of Detroit published, on Dec. 5, a "defense of Nazziism [sic] in his weekly 'social justice'" which had excerpts "closely parallel" to a speech delivered some three years ago by Paul Joseph Goebbels, German minister of propaganda.
"The following excerpts from the Coughlin article." the paper adds, "and the Gobbels speech are so closely parallel that the only conclusion to be drawn is that Father Coughlin borrowed heavily from Goebbels' speech:
"Goebbels—on April 30, 1919, in the courtyard of the Luitpold gymnasium in Munich, ten hostages among them one woman, were shot through the backs, their bodies rendered unrecognizable and taken away. This act was done at the a order of the communist terrorist, Eglhofer, and under the responsibility of the Jewish Soviet commissars, Levien, Levine-Nissen and Axelrod."
"Coughlin—On April 30, 1919, in the courtyard of the Luitpold gymnasium Munich, ten hostages, them one woman, were murdered. This act was perpetrated by the direct order of the Communist Terrorist Agelhofer, and under the responsibility the Jewish Soviet commissars, Levein, Levine-Nissen and Axelrod." - History Unfolded Contributor
