RASTENBURG, EAST PRUSSIA, JULY 20th, 1944. (Rueters).
The spiritual leader of Nazism, the prematurely old and frail Mr. Adolf Hitler, survived an assassination attempt today, as a bomb planted under his chair exploded prematurely. Mr. Hitler, who could not be reached for official comment, reportedly said to his aids that, in retaliation, he will kill thousands of the "traitors" who participated in the attempt.
The European Union condemned the attack, claiming it would only "increase the cycle of violence", and goes against the general law that leaders are immune from attack.
They also noted that real control of day-to-day events has been slipping out of Mr. Hitler's hands for quite a while now, concentrating more and more in figures like Mr. Himmler, the SS chief, and Mr. Speer, the armament minister, making such an attack "senseless" from the political point of view, and one that could only "infuriate the Germans" and "deteriorate an already-comlicated situations".
The secretary-general of the UN, reached by time machine, asked for a special UN session to condemn the attack on Mr. Hitler as "not constructive", warning that, had it succeeded, it could have created a "power vacuum in the German authority", and perhaps even "pushed Germany into the hands of the radicals", among which he named Mr. Goebbles and Mr. Himmler.
The honorable secretary also reiterated his opposition to Britian's "extremist" demand for "unconditional surrender". "Such language merely widens the circle of violence and radicalizes the enemy", insisted the secretary.
(Damn, I'm getting good at this... )
