Our historical research team has uncovered the following genuine original document from the year 1943, addressed to the united nations of the world, demanding an international observer force to patrol and protect innocent people from unprovoked violent attack. Here it is, in unedited form:

To all nations of goodwill and peace:

We, the organization of SS officers and veterans, do hereby appeal to you to lend your support to our proposal that a force of international observers be sent into the territories of occupied Europe right away to protect the rights and safety of SS officers serving in the forces of the Third Reich.

As you know, in recent months there has been a sharp increase in unprovoked attacks on SS officers and their families by racist and colonialist anti-German partisans, guerillas, and other irregular forces. Indeed, we have evidence that Jewish partisans in the ghettos of Warsaw and elsewhere have been launching assassinations and violent assaults on our troops and officers.

This unprovoked violence must stop. And the only way to stop it is through the commissioning of international observer teams throughout occupied Europe to observe and report all violations of the human rights of the SS men and the Ersatzgruppen. We encourage all international forums to endorse our demands for such observer teams, so that our people may at long last be protected from unprovoked violence and violations of their rights.

Peacefully yours,

Heinrich Himmler, Eastern European Rais
