...middle of a dreary Munich bedroom floor two mice nibble every morning at a piece of sugar set out for them by one Adolf Hitler, Austrian-born veteran of the Imperial German Army, wounded, gassed, Iron Crossed. Six other men as obscure as himself suggest that he join their German Labor Party, give him Membership Card No. 7, written in longhand. Meeting on Wednesday, the Executive Committee of the Party elect No. 7 their Chief of Propaganda, are amazed when he rounds up a meeting of 130, flabbergasted when he sweeps all before him with a loose but passionate...
