Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany 10 days ago on Jan. 30, 1933.
Today, Nazi “minister without portfolio” Hermann Goering sent and official telegram to a major newspaper in Goeteborg [Gothenburg], Sweden, complaining of the newspaper’s treatment of Hitler. This was backed up by a “friendly protest" from Germany’s envoy in Stockholm.
Goering warned that criticism by the foreign newspaper could impact relations between the two countries. Other Scandinavian countries are “aroused” by Germany’s action the NYT headline says.
