Lightly armed members of the popularly elected Nazi Party retaliated by making a handful of citizens&#8217; arrests in accordance with Herr Hitler&#8217;s transformative racial purity initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>German casualties included dozens of infants and disabled children, Reich Minister Joseph Goebbels told the Associated Press. Polish casualties were negligible, according to Goebbels, or at least difficult to ascertain given the &#8220;transmortal and shapeshifting tendencies&#8221; of the Jewish aggressors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>New York Times<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p><em>Princeton, New Jersey<\/em> \u2014 A coalition of American academics released a statement Saturday condemning the Polish aggression against Nazi Party officials in the recently established German city of Danzig. The enlightened experts called on the United States and European governments to punish the Polish state by banning imports of kielbasa and Toru\u0144 gingerbread.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We, the members of the enlightened academic community, are appalled at the ongoing attacks on innocent Nazis by the Empire of Poland,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;This unprovoked aggression represents the latest chapter in a decades-long campaign of systemic humiliation of the German people under the Treaty of Versailles, which has transformed the Reich into a prison for its 70 million inhabitants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>New York Herald Tribune<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p>EDITORIAL&nbsp;\u2014 Both sides must immediately deescalate the conflict brewing on the German-Polish border. That said, no reasonable person could argue that both sides are equally to blame. Poland&#8217;s reckless determination to defend its territory, for example, only serves to exacerbate the violence.<\/p>\n<p>Given the F\u00fchrer&#8217;s enlightened leadership and ambitious progressive agenda, we must question the Polish people&#8217;s stubborn rejection of Germany&#8217;s efforts to incorporate them into the Third Reich. With respect to the Nazi regime&#8217;s so-called atrocities against Jews and other enemies of the state, the time has long past for serious-minded individuals to denounce these bogus allegations for what they are: a malicious smear campaign financed by a shadowy network of elite bankers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Better Homes &amp; Gardens<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"26\">\n<p>A note to our readers:<\/p>\n<p>We, the editorial staff at <em>Better&nbsp;Homes &amp; Gardens<\/em>, take pride in our judicious coverage of contemporary landscaping and its role at the forefront of art and culture.
