...Honor. "Do you imagine we are capable of believing you were making coffee in your kitchen while in the next room your lodger was being shot?" The lodger was famed Horst Wessel. the student who adapted a German sea chanty into Nazidom's anthem and became the official brownshirt martyr after he was shot by Communists in Frau Salm's boarding house. The shooting of Horst Wessel by four Communists occurred in 1930 before Hitler's rise to power and the confessed No. 1 shooter died in jail, but Nazis, bent on winding up the case...
Many amazing and tragic things have taken place in Germany since the advent of the Nazis, but one of the most terrible has been the conflict between the new etatisme and the President Church. The attack upon Protestantism has come from within and without, from Teutonic prelates and Brownshirt authority. Dr. Reinhold Krause in a meeting at the Berlin Sport Palace boomed out his now famous four points: one, that all Jews be excluded from the Church; two, that ghetto parishes be instituted for the ostracized; three, that the Old Testament be thrown out because of its obviously Hebraic origin...

Quite the most ingenious charge to date was made yesterday by a good brownshirt who asserted that Torgler had tried to get him to burn the building "so that suspicion would be placed on the Nazis." The strategical brilliance of this move would have escaped any but a Nazi. CASTOR...
...independence shall be preserved. Because Adolf Hitler is determined to end that independence, Dollfuss fights Naziism tooth & nail. Foreign Hitler haters who bury Chancellor Dollfuss with verbal roses are apt to forget that this does not mean that he disapproves of all aspects of Naziism. Firmly as any brownshirt he believes that the Jewish-Socialist Government that ran Vienna for 14 years nearly ruined city and state. He has small use for parliaments. On the other hand as a Christian he has consistently opposed feeding Austrian Nazis their own medicine, such as terrorist raids and barbed wire concentration camps...
