...pioneer of the sealed gondola, got up almost ten miles. So carried away was he that he made the astounding comparison of cosmic rays to "rain on a tin roof."* His instruments showed an increasing cosmic ray intensity to the top of his ascent. But by that time Professor Erich Regener at Stuttgart had sent up sounding balloons to 20 miles, had demonstrated increasing cosmic ray intensity to that height, which no stratonaut since has approached.

Only the most captious critics could find any fault with a picture which fairly entranced...
...first time the German Reichswehr participated at the Party Congress, ending the tradition that the German Army and its officers should remain outside politics.
