"Some of them by some luck succeeded in boarding a crowded refugee
ship about to sail secretly away. They stopped at every port, but
were refused landing. Many jumped overboard; but the others, by a

"Honorable President, Vice-President and most prominent citizens of
Mars. I am Austrian born, was planted as a member of the Hitler SS
Corps to spy on them. I was present at their abominable cruelties and
I will give you an eye picture of some that took place at all the
concentration camps, with their charnel houses, gas houses, live steam
cells, human fat rendering trenches, execution chambers, and torture

medical experiments, tests, and exterminated six million Jewish men,
women, and children, plus millions upon millions of Poles, Russians,
and military prisoners of all our nations. Our newspapers' detailed
reports of many of the most gruesome massacres, will be found as
