Did you mean bunkers?
Lord Tebbit: ...sack the Government, make their own laws, or decide their own levels of taxation? Which is the democratic organisation in Brussels? Is it the one headed by Herr Juncker? We have had trouble with Junkers in this country before—I remember in my schooldays being bombed by them. Is it not true that this country is a democracy but the European Union is not, because we cannot sack people like...
Robert Wareing: ...Prime Minister came in the early hours of the morning under close police protection. The people of Merseyside believe that she and the Government have caused more devastation than any squadron of Junkers-88s or Heinkel-111s during the blitz in May 1941. I hope that the Secretary of State will consider carefully the points that have been put to him, will consult the Merseyside and...
Mr Ronald Russell: ...the Federal Republic, part in East Germany, part in Poland, and part of East Prussia in the Soviet Union. Perhaps it was because they realised the danger of German nationalism, particularly of the Junkers of East Prussia and the damage they had done in two world wars, that the Russians decided to seize part of East Prussia and keep it under their control. Just as I hope that we shall not...
Mr George Pargiter: ...and there is no smoke emission. The explanation is quite simple, although it may not be so easy to legislate to put it right. I have watched diesel engine development from the time when the first Junkers engine was imported into this country, and one can appreciate the very great strides which have been made in that development. There is no doubt that the stage has been reached where...
Mr George Pargiter: ...a vehicle larger than a 26-seater which was not a diesel-engined vehicle. I have been associated with this question for a long time. I remember the start of the oil engine, when we imported the Junkers engine to start this revolutionary means of transport. Every encouragement was given by the Government of the day to this development, which was recognised as being a cheaper and more...
Mr Harold Lever: ...on my part. This history relating to the Weimar Republic is interesting, and it is relevant to note that this is precisely the kind of finance which was employed in Germany between the wars. The Junkers were financed in some such loose way as this, and in the end they got a vested interest in keeping this type of financing going, and this led to the pollution of German politics. Various...
Dr Reginald Bennett: Is it not a fact that although it has been thought for some time that the motive power of the Russian fighters derived from the Jumo Junkers axial-flow jet engines, it is now determined that the main bulk of their fighter forces are powered by engines of British origin and derivation?
Mr Percy Lucas: ...1945 many of these fruits of research and development in Germany's aircraft industry became potentially available to the Russians. The Heinkel factory at Rostock, the Dornier factory at Wismar, the Junkers factory at Dessau, the Messerschmitt works at Prague and at Gotha, in Silesia and in Hungary. All these, together with designers, technicians and blue prints became potentially available...
Captain Mark Hewitson: ...every opportunity to re-establish themselves. Recently at Rüdesheim the German youth were marching again, and it made one feel cold inside, because that youth is awaiting direction. If the German Junkers come back to power they will take that youth and build it for themselves, in order to secure, if possible, the re-birth of that Nazism which we hope is now dead in Europe. Those are...
Major Donald Bruce: .... That is the first thing which, I think, they do not understand. I say straight away that if the Tory-sponsored British Housewives' League wished to send money abroad to distressed families of Junkers in Germany affected by the Currency Reform, who are in definite need of it, half-starved and in dire distress, I should be the first to support the right of the British Housewives' League to...
Mr Richard Crossman: ..., however, there is something much more formidable, something which adapted itself, as did the French Revolution, to the traditions of a great country. The Nazis did not even win the support of the Junkers, of the traditional supporters of Bismarck's real-politik. They conspired against them in 1944 because they thought German national traditions were being destroyed. Communism, on the...
Major Sir Duncan McCallum: ...trade. Yet, in order to operate British airlines we are constantly purchasing foreign machines, Constellations, Dakotas— although many of these come from Lend-Lease—Lockheed Lodestars and even Junkers which were not to be taken as reparations in that respect. When precious dollars have to be expended, we use foreign aircraft on British airlines, whereas many of our manufacturers feel...
Mr William Gallacher: ...must have an entirely new economy in Germany. There is a new economy in the Soviet zone. Whatever questions may be raised about the Soviet zone, one thing cannot be denied—the big estates of the Junkers have been divided up. That is a new economy, and a very important new economy, which nobody can dispute. In the Soviet zone, the industries are under the control of German administration,...
Mr William Gallacher: Are the Government going to do anything to abolish the landowners and Junkers in the British zone?
Mr R.A. Butler: ...be set up a strong centralised Germany. I have read some particularly excellent articles by M. Francois Poncet, giving the French point of view, which indicate that it was the militarists and the junkers who went for a centralised Germany, whereas it was the democrats and others who went for the federal type of Germany. I hope and believe that the French will be in general sympathy with...
Miss Jennie Lee: ...thing to do, beginning with the heavy industries of the Ruhr, would be to nationalise them, and take them out of the hands of rich Germans. The Russians in their zone have done a good job with the Junkers. I am not competent to speak of what is going on inside the Russian zone—I hear many things, some pleasing and some depressing—but it is true to say, I think, that the power of the...
Mr William Gallacher: ...and the publican! "If only others would be as decent as we are," they say. They tell us on the radio that in the Soviet zone a great land reform is being carried on. Are there any East Prussian Junkers left in the Soviet zone? Not one. They are all in the British or American zones. Their estates have all been taken over and divided up among the peasants. [An HON. MEMBER: "Robbery."] Yes,...
...be inhuman to expel refugees but at least Russian policy in Eastern Germany is carrying out the pledges we made year after year with regard to Germany. We said, "We will destroy the power of the Junkers, the big industrialists and the officers corps." That is what we pledged ourselves to do, but if a Russian officer went into the British zone he would not find us doing that. He would find...
Miss Eleanor Rathbone: ...who took part in the attack on Hitler's life on 20th July. He showed, contrary to what some people have tried to maintain in this country, that they were an extraordinarily mixed bag. They included Junkers, distinguished generals, fervent Catholics, members of the professional army, Prussians, South Germans, trade union leaders and a good many Jews. It went to show that the attempt had...
Mr Tom Driberg: ...for Ebbw Vale (Mr. Bevan) recited with regard to the future treatment of Germany and the German people. To my mind, the two absolute prerequisites are the destruction of the power of the Prussian Junkers and the destruction of the power of the industrial monopolists. But, of course, that presupposes a Socialist policy for Germany, and that is, I imagine, the snag to many hon. Members...
