Last week, as the tournament got under way in Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Krefeld and Cologne, the Vs had more than the Russians between them and the championship. Finland, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and the U.S. had also entered teams. Each of them had 36 games to go, but the Canadians began by making it look easy. In Dortmund's Westphalenhalle Arena they trounced the U.S., 12-1. Outside, in the cold German winter, a red-bereted corporal of the Canadian occupation army blasted on a bugle while his buddies jeered: "Yankees go home, and learn to play...
...Dortmund's nearly deserted court room last week, 20 onetime Nazi policemen, charged with atrocities, man slaughter and murder, stood before three black-robed West German judges and dispassionately told how, on wartime duty in Warsaw, they had indiscriminately shot and killed Jews in the city's ghetto. Admitting the killings, the defendants argued that they had merely followed orders.

Never a Nazi Party member, he still knows or cares little about politics but has managed to reach the conclusion that exporting to the East is bad "for the moment": "You can't send people iron and steel if there's a danger of their using it against...
...Reds' plans became clear, border guards were reinforced to prevent further crossings. West Germany's police force of about 100,000 was issued carbines, tear-gas bombs and steel helmets, got busy building roadblocks on the approaches to target cities, notably Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen. Policemen careened through the streets, sirens screaming, arrested 500 known Communist leaders as a preventive measure. The British called their Fourth Guards Brigade back from maneuvers to stand by for disorders in the Ruhr...
