Otto D. Tolischus

"Charging that Germany had been attacked, Chancellor Hitler at 5:11 o'clock this morning issued a proclamation to the army declaring that from now on force will be met with force and calling on the armed forces 'to fulfill their duty to the end.'"

"Under the headline, "Hitler Gives Word," Otto Tolischus presented only the view of Hitler and the Nazis concerning the events along the German-Polish border. In the very next paragraph, Tolischus reprinted Hitler's proclamation, which the dictator calculated as a way to fire up the German public for war."
