...Free Corps members (somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000) swore fresh fealty to Adolf Hitler, took their oaths on a copy of Mein Kampf, insisted that the rightful leader of Germany is Admiral Karl Doenitz, Hitler's designated heir, who still has three more years to pay in Spandau prison for his war crimes. A threadbare, ragtag lot, the Freikorps met, often in groups of 150, in beer halls, and talked of a Nazi government in West Germany, "possibly by 1957." Unlike the group arrested by the British, which was clever enough to realize that neo-Nazis must...

...Editor Huie, Maguire's acquaintances came as no surprise. "I knew I was taking a calculated risk," says he. "I knew about Maguire's indiscretions and operations with the Christian Front crowd. But money to me is impersonal. If suddenly I heard Adolf Hitler was alive in South America and wanted to give a million dollars to the American Mercury, I would go down and get it-or Stalin." No matter who the backer is, Huie maintains he can control the Mercury's editorial policy, expects the magazine will ride out this storm...
