Sourest of Germans on Joy Day were group leaders of the ordinary S. A. Storm Troops, long since fallen from the Führer's favor. They now seem destined to brownshirt oblivion as a new Nazi Army bursts out into field grey under Reichswehr officers of War renown (see p. 23).

The whole Reichswehr from privates to generals cried "I swear by God this holy oath!" (TIME, Aug. 13). So has the Navy, the brownshirt Storm Troops, black-pantalooned Special Guards, the police. Finally last week Realmleader Hitler decided to take no further chances on the unsworn loyalty of the Germans who now know him best, his Cabinet...
