...taken by the Führer on his trip to Rome last year, have been unanimously painted over. There is a dour expression on Italian faces as they watch the heavy-booted Nazi chiefs who now are seen all over the Italian landscape. Crown Prince Umberto, supposed to be antiFascist, is greeted tumultuously whenever he appears...
...thing, Benito Mussolini and Vittorio Emmanuele III differ about the future of the House of Savoy. II Duce is amused by his little King, but far from amused by Crown Prince Umberto, Italy's most stubborn antiFascist.

By last autumn many an ardent antiFascist, his belly gnawed by hunger and his nerves frayed by bombs, began to wonder if, after all, the oppression of Fascism could be any worse. When, three days before Barcelona fell, the Loyalist Government called out all men to help build fortifications to withstand a siege, the city was war weary and apathetic. The job was quietly sabotaged. Many evaded the draft, many worked only halfheartedly. In the last few days before the fall, many Rebel sympathizers...
