MOSCOW, Feb. 10.-(A)- Russians promised today to publish secret German documents they said would prove their charges that the western allies paved the way for World War II.
The Soviet information bureau charged last night that the United States, Britain and France had, in their relations with Germany, provided Adolf Hitler with the strength to launch the second World War.
The Russians said it was done by a "golden rain of American dollars" and by French and British diplomacy.
The Russian statement was in reply to the U. S. State Department's publication Jan. 21 of 260 documents captured from the Nazis dealing with Russian-German relations prior to World War II.
Russia said its charges were supported by "important documents which were captured by Soviet troops during the smash-up of Hitlerite Germany."
Publication of these documents will help present the true picture of how Hitler's aggression and the second World War were "in reality prepared and developed," the statement said.
