Hitler outlines 13 point program for disarmament and peace
Hitler, before the Reichstag, presented a 13 point plan to reduce arms and ease international tensions. He rejected the League of Nations council’s condemnation of German rearmament but said Germany could rejoin the league if Versailles principles were abandoned. Britain welcomed his pledge to respect Versailles territorial clauses and Germany’s offer to sign non aggression pacts, with unilateral changes rejected. Reichenau announced conscription changes with 1914 and 1915 war baby classes to be examined from June 1 and called to service later this year.
