- Blondie, come here.

- Eva.

- Oh yeah. (radio signal screeching)

- In America we've had many reports

against your new government, and in most cases,

this has caused hasty demonstrations everywhere.

I can now say to you that the American people today

realize that these stories

are untrue and without foundation.

Oh yes, I am old visitor of Germany,

and I have come here so as to talk over the radio

from Germany to America that the true facts

may be given to the American people

so that they will have the story of today

and what's going on here.

- Bismarck.

- I find that there's a new fresh vitality here in Germany

under your great leader and chancellor, Adolf Hitler,

of whom I'm a great admirer.

The new Germany will live,

for you have the best centralized government

in the world today.

- Come here.

- Where is that dog?

- I'm very glad to have won my three events

in the games here in Berlin.

It's been the first time since 1924,

about 12 years ago, and I'm very proud to have won.

Wonderful competition here, a wonderful stadium,

and a wonderful crowd and the days have been very nice,

and the people here in Germany have been very nice to me,

and I'm very glad to display my talent here.

Thank you. (speaking in foreign language)

- Infantry.

- Infantry.

- Infantry.

- Gretl. (laughs)

- Dietrich Eckhart.

- Hermann Norwood.

Wilhelm Gustloff.

Hans Wetzel.

Eva, Eva! (laughs)

- Blondie.

Blondie.

Yeah.

- Do you have your order? - Yeah.

- The Hindenburg left Frankfurt, Germany,

Tuesday evening rather, at 7:30 their time.

And for better than two and a half days

they've been speeding through the skies

over miles and miles of water here to America.

Now they're coming in to make a landing of the Zeppelin.

I'm going to step out here.

As I move out, we'll just stand by a second.

Well here it comes, ladies and gentlemen,

to us now and what a great sight it is,

a thrilling one.

Just a marvelous sight coming down out of the sky.

It's pointed directly towards us

and toward the mooring mast.

The might diesel motors just roared,

the propellors biting into the air

and throwing it back into a gale-like whirlpool.

The ship is no doubt bustling with activity, as we can see.

Orders are shouted to the crew, the passengers

are probably lining the windows, looking down

at the field before them. - Here's the mooring now.

- Getting their glimpse

of the mooring mast.

The back motors of the ship are just holding it,

just enough to keep it from--

Get this, Charlie, get this, Charlie!

It's burning and it's crashing.

It's crashing, terrible.

Oh my, get out of the way, please.

It is burning, bursting into flames

and it's falling on the mooring mast.

Oh, it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen.

The smoke and the flames now and the frame

is crashing into the ground,

not quite to the mooring mast.

Oh the humanity, and all those passengers

screaming around it.

I told you, (flames roaring)

I can't even talk to people whose friends were on there.

I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen.

Honest, just can make no sense

of the smoking wreckage. (groans)

I'm gonna have to stop for a minute

because I've lost my voice.

This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

- Pledge undivided allegiance

to the flag of the United States of America.

Go after him. (crowd shouting)

Attention.

Attention.

- The technical problem of securing and maintaining peace,

but also face the important task

of education and enlightenment.

Without such freedom there would have been

no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Newton,

no Faraday, no Pasteur, and no Lister.

- Today's news

of the international situation

is entirely dominated by this announcement

with which Mr. Chamberlain ended his speech

in Parliament this afternoon after a special message

had been handed to him.

Herr Hitler has agreed to withhold

(speaking in foreign language) mobilization for 24 hours.

And on his invitation, Mr. Chamberlain,

(speaking in foreign language) Senor Mussolini,

and Monsieur Daladier are meeting him at Munich tomorrow.

At this point, the whole House rose,

cheering and waving order papers.

When the cheering had subsided,

Mr. Chamberlain told the House, "I hope the House

"will release me now (speaking in foreign language)

"to go and see what I can make

"of this last effort that we have.

"Perhaps we may meet (speaking in foreign language)

"in happier circumstances."

The House is adjourned until Monday

amid scenes, perhaps an example for enthusiasm

and emotion. (speaking in foreign language)

When Mr. Chamberlain acknowledged the applause

that greeted him later in Downing Street,

he cried to the crowds, "It's all right this time."

- This morning I had another talk

with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler.

And here is the paper which bares

his name upon it as well as mine.

Some of you perhaps have already heard what it contains,

but I would just like to read it to you.

We regard the agreement signed last night

and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement

as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples

never to go to war with one another again.

- Three cheers for Chamberlain!

- Hip, hip!

- Hooray!

- Hip, hip!

- This is London.

You will now hear a statement by the Prime Minister.

- This morning, the British Ambassador

in Berlin handed the German government a final note

stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock,

that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops

from Poland, a state of war would exist between us.

I have to tell you now, that no such undertaking

has been received and that consequently

this country is at war with Germany.

Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right,

for it is evil things that we shall be fighting against,

brute force, bad faith, injustice,

oppression, and persecution.

- Here is a newsflash.

The German radio has just announced that Hitler is dead.

I repeat that, Hitler is dead.

- Blondie, come here.
