...only normal Nazi, Rudolf Hess, called "Fraulein" because he is hysterical Hitler's nursemaid and governess. There was the ex-wine salesman, Joachim von Ribbentrop, who used to be much in demand for amateur theatricals in the homes of rich and cultured Jews, because he played effete Englishmen in Oscar Wilde plays. There was Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler, about whom the Munich police in 1923 made a mistake his secret police would never make. They thought he was so unimportant they did not arrest him.

Last week the Londoner still had his bacon & eggs, the Parisian his pain beune. But Englishmen were at last beginning to see that Master-Farmer David Lloyd George was right: they must plow their pasturage and "dig for victory." Seeking also to cut home consumption not only of food but of nonessential articles, the Board of Trade restricted by two-thirds the supply of 600 such items...
