"However, when I met State
Secretary Globke, he made a
very profound impre ssion on me
as an earnest, honest, decent,
— responsible person. He told me:
"1.. He had nothing to do with
the passing • of the Nuremberg
laws.
"2. He was called in as a civil
servant in charge of marriage,
birth and death records to work
out the legal regulations to ad-
minister the laws. He was op-
posed to the laws but felt that
the best way to help the innocent
would be to keep his civil service
position and by administrative
interpretations to broaden the
exemption and thus partially
sabotage the aims of the Nazis.
. "3. He and many other Ger-
mans in high places who were
opposed to the Nazi philosophy
and program were virtual pris-
oners of the Nazi state. Their
only hope for a change was by a
military revolt from within, and
resistance from abroad. Once
Hitler had passed the Enabling
Act whereby the generals became
his pawns the only hope was in
diplomatic failure abroad that
would justify a revolt by the
generals in the name of German
survival and the Christian heri-
tage. Chamberlain's surrender
at Munich strengthened Hitler
at home. It was not until Hitler's
