Perishing, losing their lives. At best, coming back home crippled – useless for the rest of their lives. For whom? - For Franklin D. Roosevelt and Churchill and their Jewish cohorts.
First of all, I’d like to take the British angle of the subject tonight. I’ve got a very nice, interesting article here by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt herself. This appeared in the American Collier’s magazine, February 27, 1943. I’ll even give you the page. Its page 18 – you can check on it yourself. And it says as follows – this is by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. I don’t like her myself, girls. She’s no friend of mine for allowing your husbands, fathers, sons and brothers to perish on the fringes of Europe for Mr. Roosevelt. So I suppose you have a certain amount of sympathy for Eleanor. Well, this is what she said on the 27th of February, 1943 on page 18 of Collier’s Magazine.
‘While we have a few people whose conditions tie them closely to Britain, we have a considerable number who are critical of the British people and who find their mannerism and the way they talk and act not only arrogant but highly objectionable.’
I repeat that: ‘not only arrogant but highly objectionable’…. Who are these people? All of them of America who help these people – your sons, fathers, brothers and husbands are perishing on the fringes of Europe. And yet, the British are not only arrogant but highly objectionable, according to Eleanor Roosevelt. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Oh, I find it highly interesting, I must say….
‘The British government is inferior and the British are wily and see only the good of the Empire. The British have conquered many countries and while it is acknowledged that they colonize very well, it is also accepted that the rule has meant the exploitation of the conquered areas rather than development for the sake of the conquered people. This gives us the opportunity to point with pride to the attractive achievements of the United States in their colonial possessions. Consequently, the average American has developed a dislike for Britain.’
Well, that was said to you by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. If I had such a dislike for a country certainly I wouldn’t sacrifice those I love most of all for their interest. Would you, girls? I’m sure you wouldn’t if you thought it over before. But it all came overnight and somehow you trusted Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said to you that no American boy will be sacrificed on foreign battlefields. And it all then came so suddenly before you knew what was happening. I’m sure that’s the way it was.
Well, women in America, thousands and thousands of your men now going from French North Africa via Sicily to Europe are on their last roundup. (Music: The Last Roundup)
Do you know, women of America, since I’m over here in Europe I think I’ve got a better perspective than you have. I come in touch with your men and also with some great German officers. It is very interesting. I’m sure you would like to hear this little story – a few evenings ago, I was at a party where there was a German war correspondent and he told me about a combat experience over in French South Africa where your men and the Germans were engaged in a fierce battle. Afterwards, he came to a sort of field hospital. It was rather makeshift, of course, and lying in this field hospital there was an American officer and he decided he’d like to have a little chat with him and went up to the bed and sat down and they conversed for a little while. Then, the American officer opened up his heart, and told him just how he felt when he got over to French North Africa and first entered into this fierce combat. He’d been told, of course, when leaving America that he’d find no resistance on the part of the German soldiers, that the Germans were tired – tired of battle – that they’d give no resistance. It would be a walk away for the American soldier, that’s what he said.
They gave all they had and still couldn’t drive the Germans back and then (unintelligible) most of all in the world was killed in action. His pal standing next to him and saw him depart from this life and he said ‘In that moment, I hated the Germans more than I had ever hated them in all my life.’ They’d taken the life of five pals, and he went on and all the intensity and fierceness he had in his being and then he was wounded. He became unconscious. It was much later that he regained consciousness and found himself, as I said, in this makeshift field hospital. And the quote sentence which made an impression upon his dazed was the following (in German, but he could understand German, having been in Germany himself sometime before the war – if I’m not mistaken during the Olympic Games. And he heard this German boy say to the doctor ‘No, take care of him first. He needs it much more than I.’ - a thought of what a German soldier said to the doctor in charge: ‘Take care of the American soldier; he’s wounded worse than I am.” Then, the German doctor came over then to the cot of the American officer and said to him, ‘Well, old fellow, let’s see what we can do for you.’ And at that moment, he heard his own language spoken to him by a man who showed sympathy for him. All of a sudden, he said to himself, ‘Why, why, why is Germany and America against each other.’
Well women, I think I have to leave you with that. I’m sorry the time is so short. Why? I’ll tell you – for the Jews. The Jews are in this war – have got us into this war – for an ideal, not for the love of humanity, but for money. They had no feeble concern for America and no feeling for the sons of the Whippoorwill, for the beautiful maple trees in summer – all of these things which are America. No, the Jews are sending our men over to Europe to fight so that their money bags will get filled. Well women, I’m sorry I haven’t got time for you, but I hope this little story by an American officer to the German officer will be an eye opener for you.

While you are over in French North Africa fighting for Franklin D. Roosevelt and all his Jewish cohorts, I do hope that way back in your hometown nobody will be making eyes at honey.
MIDGE AT THE MIKE
October 5, 1943
”You know, after all, Franklin D. Roosevelt promised you that none of your boys would be sacrificed on foreign battlefields, didn’t he? Well, your president did not keep his word. And I remember at the beginning of the war, how the upper circles, we might say, in England and America just laughed to scorn the idea that Germany, for example, at the beginning of the war, got ration cards. Sometimes we remember that, at the very beginning, everyone got his usual quantities of soap, and butter and eggs and sugar and cream and so on and so on. Everything was rationed beautifully, and England and American threw up their arms and laughed and said: ‘Well, that’s the downfall of Germany already.’
Quite the contrary, you see now in Germany, we’re getting extra butter rations. You probably heard the speech, last week, in which the harvest was discussed – such a marvellous wheat harvest – and so much food. We’re going to have plenty of butter and plenty of bread and even more meat.
Well, you see, Germany has rationed the food right from the very beginning, and so has guaranteed a better food situation for all of the Germans and all of the foreigners who are now in Germany for the duration of the war. It’s not going to be a repetition of the state of affairs that the German people had to endure from 1914 to 1918. I think in the last year of the last war, it was pretty sad. I’ve heard that from many sources.
My dear listeners in America, that’s not happening in this war. And I’ve even heard that in America, you’re having some difficulty now with your rationing. You’ve got your ration books already; well, you’re getting them rather late. In the meantime, all of the Jews they have confiscated the lovely things which you have in time over in America, your Heinz 57 Varieties and such things. So between the Black Market and the (unintelligible), you have a much worse time than the people in Germany.
Mark my words! I’m living here; I have been living here ever since before the war and I know how beautifully everything is regulated; as if you need a new pair of shoes, you get a new pair of shoes and you don’t have to swindle about it or tell any silly stories, you simply get anything that you need, but everything is honest and everything is under control
and checked on.
This you have not yet had in America and I doubt that you’ll ever be able to do it, with the flair for organization which the Germans always have had and always will have. Be careful, Gentile women in America, that the Jews don’t hoard all the things now, so that in a year or two, you really will be feeling the pangs of hunger. I told you before it’s my firm conviction that, in reality, this is no war between Germany and America, in that sense of the word, but a war between the Jews and the Gentiles.”

“Don’t forget kids, that Midge is just ticked to death to be at the microphone every night with her gang over in French North Africa. I’d just like to know if you could count on the fingers of one hand the Jewish boys who are fighting along with you. I doubt it very much. Well, think it over, gang, and don’t forget how many times I have pointed out it’s a Jewish war with good honest-to-God American Gentile blood being shed for it. Do you want to be on that side of the fence? Well, I don’t kids. Do think it over, will you?”

“Well, boys, I guess all of you have felt the same about some girl. Well, you’ve parted now, and you may dislike my repeating this to you, but it’s the truth, especially if you boys get all mutilated and do not return in one piece. I think then you’ll have a pretty tough time with your girl. Any girl likes to have her man in one piece, so I think in any case, you’ve got a pretty hard future ahead of you.”

MEDICAL REPORTS
February 26, 1944
“And now folks, please standby for some medical reports giving you some information as to the present condition of wounded American fliers, shot down over Germany or German-occupied territory. I regret very much to have to inform two families in America at the beginning of this broadcast that I have two death messages. I regret also that I was unable to broadcast them sooner. In both cases, there was no home address given. The first concerns Sergeant Gene H. Munson, M-U-N-SO-N. I have no service number, no personal details about Sgt. Munson whatever, and I can only beg all of my American listeners to be good enough to see what they can do about getting this word… to the nearest of kin of Mr. Gene H. Munson, M-U-N-S-O-N. He had received injuries—had been shot as a matter of fact in the left knee and the right lower leg. He was admitted to hospital on New Year’s Eve, the 31st of December 1943, and died on the 2nd of January 1944, as a result of a malignant embolie.
And now, my second death message concerns Pilot George E. Jones. I fortunately have his service number – that may help somewhat in identifying him – it is 13022168T43. Mr. Jones was brought to hospital on the 26th of November 1943. His left upper leg had been completely crushed; he had received severe injuries to the right leg and his left hand was also totally crushed. He died on the 27th of November, 1943 and this report was made out by the doctors and went through on the 28th of November. Of course, you know that… ah… among flyers the pilot is the last one to bail out and so, of course, naturally the machine can be in… a terrible state by the time he gets his parachute on and is ready to make what in this case was a fatal jump. I’m sorry, very sorry that I haven’t the address of his parents and I do hope that they’ll get the news soon, although perhaps it’s better for them if the news is somewhat delayed.
Well folks, that’s what comes of this war of course… they’re coming in by the hundreds, these American boys, who day after day are flying over Germany in their terror raids trying to extinguish a whole race, killing ruthlessly helpless women and children. I ask you American women if you brought your boys up to be murderers? - Have you? - Because that’s what they are becoming. And, of course, if I have these death messages for you that’s… a quite necessary. I mean in general, I get only those reports which concern boys who are lying in hospital at the moment but sometimes some of these messages creep in and then, of course, I read them to you.
Well, I must continue with this broadcast now, and get in touch with Middletown, New York. Calling Mrs. A.N. Kernochan, her name is spelled K-E-R-N-O-C-H-A-N, Rural Delivery #3, in Middletown NY. I have some word for her about her son, John D. Kernochan whose rank is that of Second Lieutenant. He was born on the 19th of September 1921, in Saranac Lake, New York. His service number is 0464657. Mrs. Kernochan, your son had a fracture of the right ankle and his left ankles were sprained. Well, you see, he was very lucky, as a matter of fact, most of these boys have some kind of injuries to their legs you see because, of course, bailing out and making a parachute landing is a very strenuous affair and….in most cases, they injure their legs, when touching the (unintelligible).
I should now like to get in touch with Milwaukee, in Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have word concerning Louis C. Koch, spelled K-O-C-H. He was born also in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where his folks seem to be living today at 1327 W. Harrison Avenue, Harrison, H-A-RR-I-S-O-N, and his date of birth was 29th of April, 1923. Now, I have two reports here concerning his condition. The first, from the 19th of December, states that he had a crushing fracture of the right arm, which was so bad that the doctors had to amputate part of the arm. His condition was unchanged at that moment, and a month later on the 29th… of December the doctors stated the wound was healing well and that the patient was doing quite nicely.
Well folks, that’s the end of this little broadcast I’m afraid and tune in every night with the exception of Sunday. This is Midge signing off and wishing you all good night.”

“Here is word now for Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. Johnsonburg… The report is about Lieutenant William H. Kupole or Lupole, L-U-P-O-L-E; I believe it is, born on the 14th of February 1922 in Johnsburg, Pennsylvania. Well, that was a nice little Valentine for his mother at that time. And how little did she ever dream that she’d be asked to sacrifice him for Roosevelt and his Jewish cohorts. Well, he’s going to remember the American Government for the rest of his life, for his right leg had to be amputated below the knee, and the ankle bone in his left leg was broken. The left leg already has been placed in a walking cast and the patient is doing exercises with an artificial limb fitted to the right leg. Now, his mother lives at 235 West Center Street in Johns…. Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. Well, Mrs. Lupole, you’ve seen nothing of this war. You only read Jewish propaganda in your newspaper. But if you’ve been listening to this broadcast then you know that for many weeks I went from war hospital to war hospital, from one prisoner of war camp to another prison-of-war camp in France and I saw your boys, saw the pitiful state of untold thousands of them. Ah yes… only that is to say thousands, I talk of.
There are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them, scattered all over Europe, asked to sacrifice their youth, asked to sacrifice their future, because when they get back they will be in no state to take up a job of any consequence. And you people are so short-sighted. You know so little about politics, about history, about what is going on in Europe, about the great role which Germany is playing in the future of the Western Continent. Well, if you folks want to fight to aid and abet, the decline of the West… well, you are certainly taking the right action. Germany has vision. Germany has culture. Germany has supplied all of Europe, to say nothing of America and other western countries with culture. I ask you Americans, ‘What have you done for posterity? Can you answer me? Here
are the three things for which you people are known all over the world: money, jazz and Hollywood. Compare your three contributions with the contributions of Germany to the world throughout the ages… And so you want to sacrifice your sons to try to destroy that great country, Germany. Folks, it’s a responsibility which you should have never taken on your shoulders. It’s the blackest page in the world’s history. America should hang her head in shame. Think it over America, will you? This is Midge signing off, so goodnight everybody…”

“The first town on my list tonight is Greenville, Alabama. I have word for Mr. H.E. Jernigan Sr. about his son, Second Lieutenant Henry E. Jernigan, J-E-R-N-I-G-A-N, who was born on the 24th of June 1922. His service number I should like to give you, for assistance of identification, 0710286T43-44. Now, Mr. Jernigan, your son Henry got his left leg broken above the knee. He also is suffering from flesh wounds on the left leg above the knee and has also had a general collapse and considerable loss of blood. The doctor states that hospital treatment will be necessary for a period of somewhere around 3 or 4 months. So it seems that the case is rather serious because it seldom happens that one has to stay so long in hospital.
