Taking advantage of Japanese

Nazis propose that the Nipponese
expel all Jews from Shanghai
and all other Jap-held territory.
Madagascar was chosen as a
favorable site by the German
propagandists because, accord-
ing to the Reich broadcasters,
the island will be given to the
Japs after the war. The task
of the Jewish exiles, the Nazis
suggested, would be to prepare
Madagascar as a postwar settle-
ment for all the Jews of Europe.
