Their pride & joy resembled the 14-cylinder, 1,200-h.p. Twin-Wasp motor but had four more cylinders, some 50% more horsepower, about the same dimensions. Secret-of-success: through trial & error engineers had learned to cool high-powered air-cooled engines more efficiently, thus were able to clump more cylinders around a single crankshaft. Better cooling also made it possible to increase cylinder pressures, step up speed of piston strokes...

The German generals were said to be scattered in spas around the country.

Foreigners (Danzigers not allowed) played roulette at the elegant casino at Zoppot. Thousands played on the gloriously white sands or swam in the cool waters of Danzig Bay. Up in the heavily wooded section south of the city, picnicking still went on. Couples promenaded on Danzig's patrician avenues lining the canals. City Hall was open as usual and the Nazi-operated radio station invited listeners to "come and see Danzig and spend...
