Flashback: "Führer Decries Lack of Positive Media Stories from Eastern Front"
From The Alpenkräuterdelikatessenfrühstückskäse Zeitung, January 8, 1943
Berchtesgaden, Bavaria-- After spending the morning cutting brush at his mountain redoubt here in the Bavarian Alps, the Reichsführer engaged in a free-wheeling discussion with members of the press, during which he complained of a lack of positive media coverage of the fighting on the Eastern front.
"I see the news headlines, and it seems to me that the focus is always on the negative," said the Führer.
"People wonder why I remain so optimistic. They say to me, 'hey. Führer. What do you see that we don't?' Well, there have been some really encouraging developments around Stalingrad. Our units there are making steady inroads in overcoming the insurgents and winning the support of the local population. But the liberal media only seems interested in reporting the negative stories. It's always 'sniper fire' this, and 'mass starvation' that," the Führer continued.
"What the public knows, and I know, but that the media fail to grasp, is that this is a historic and important struggle. Only with time and perspective can we really measure the significance. All this talk of retreat and surrender only serves to embolden our enemies."
