German Army Chiefs Suspected in Plot Against Nazi Party
Montreal May 15. The Montreal Herald quotes Otto Strasser of the Black Front claiming Hess's escape signals a plot by the German army chiefs and Hermann Goering to overthrow the Nazi party. He warns Goering would shoot Goebbels and Himmler within an hour of power. Strasser notes Hess’s flight aims to save his life as a loyal Hitler aide. He says Goering is closer to the Prussian army and big industry, while Hess remains Hitler’s trusted secretary. The piece marks an old OIG story with Strasser’s 20 year view.
