Game, Set, Match
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
“The Red Army has Berlin. The once fat, strong heart of German power, now a wreck, was taken in 12 days of [the] bloodiest battle by the overwhelming might of Marshals Zhukov and Konev. The surrender of the remnants of the Nazis in the ruins of the Chancellery where Hitler is said to have his end, and the smashed-up Tiergarten turned a page in history>”
Shifting Men from the ETO to the Pacific
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
This article appeared two days before the German capitulation; the Allies were in Berlin, Hitler was dead and the Pentagon was planning to send some men home while shipping a million off to fight the Japanese.
The Japanese Planned to Fight Until the End
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
The American magazines and newspapers of late April and early May, 1945, were all about the end of the German Army and now its time to clobber the Japanese. The attached article, from May 6, addressed the subject that this would not be an easy task. If the Atom Bomb hadn’t come along, the Pentagon believed the war would have gone on for another two or three years, and the Japanese were determined to fight until the end:
“The influential Tokyo paper Sangyo Kezei said editorially on April 30: ‘Japan will fight on regardless of any sudden changes in Europe.'”

Geneva Red Cross Condemned
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
“A bitter indictment of the International Red Cross Committee for its failure to tell the world what it knew about barbarous conditions in the prison camps of Nazi Germany, at a time when public indignation might have eased the tragic plight of millions, appears in the May issue of the magazine Jewish Frontier, out today.”
POW Abuse: What Did the Red Cross Know?
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
U.S. Representative Emanuel Cellar (1888 – 1981) and a number of senators were all in agreement that the International Red Cross had failed in their task to police Nazi P.O.W. camps for prisoner abuse:
“In accordance with the conditions of the Geneva Convention, the Red Cross has the right to visit prisoner-of-war camps… These killings, starvations, and abuses did not happen in one day. They were prolonged operations. Didn’t the Red Cross know about them?”
”German Labor as Reparation”
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
“War and the Working Class, Moscow publication, asserts that German labor must be used to restore the destruction wrought by the German Army in Europe…In an article entitled Labor Reparations, it contends that Using German labor for this purpose will achieve effective military and economic disarmament of Germany.”
Doenitz Not to be Tried as War Criminal
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
For reasons unknown, the men who ran the Allied war effort chose to ignore the fact that it was German Admiral Karl Doenitz who issued the order that German U-boats were to machinegun all Allied lifeboats after sinking their vessels. The attached journalist was right in pointing out that Doenitz was whitewashed. But it didn’t stick – he was found guilty at Nuremburg and served 12 years.
Doenitz: Hitler’s Successor
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
When Hitler blew his brains out (April 30, 1945), what was left of the baton was passed to the Nazi fleet admiral, Karl Doenitz (1891 – 1980). This article points out that the admiral was a predictable choice for Hitler to make and no one at SHAEF was surprised.
Red Flag Over Berlin
(PM Tabloid, 1945)
“Berlin has fallen to all intents and purposes. Stalin in a May Day order announces that the victory flag of the red Army flies over the main part of the ruined Nazi capital.”
