•Gareth
immediately penned two articles for the Cardiff Western Mail
published on Oct 15 & 17, 1932 to highlight the tragic situation entitled; “Will there be Soup?”
•In line with his
Welsh Non-Conformist beliefs, Liberal & Pacifist views; Gareth decided to make a trip to view
the conditions firsthand
– otherwise it could be officially denied.
•On 23 February
1933, Gareth became the first foreign reporter to fly with Hitler, the then newly appointed
German Chancellor (&
afterwards dining privately with Goebbels…)
–He prophetically wrote in the Cardiff Western Mail:
– “If
this aeroplane should crash then the whole history of Europe would be changed. For a few feet away sits Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany and leader of the
most volcanic
nationalist awakening which the world has seen.”
