...took 48 hours for the Germans to get puppet Protectorate President Dr. Emil Hacha on the air with a broadcast suited to Nazi tastes. Apparently he at first refused to speak, and this silence was explained away in Berlin by the Fiihrer's own newspaper, which said that Dr. Hacha was seriously ill and was not expected to leave his bed for a long time. A few hours later President Hacha, seemingly in good health, appeared at Castle Lana and gloomily broadcast: "Any further sacrifice for the Czech Nation serves no purpose. . . . Face the cold realities. . . . Senseless opposition...
Berlin correspondents quickly disposed of wild reports that Friedrich Wilhelm had been "beheaded as a traitor"-he was seen going about the capital in his usual haunts -and it was presently rumored that the Fiihrer might decide to enthrone a likely candidate as Emperor and serve under this figurehead as Chancellor-as II Duce serves under Vittorio Emanuele III.

At the same time in Ankara, German Ambassador Franz von Papen entrained for Berlin, there to explain to Fiihrer Hitler why he had failed to win the Turks away from the Allies...
...hero's funeral. From Adolf Hitler came a lily wreath and from Kalthof, Danzig Territory, where he was killed by a Polish chauffeur, to neighboring Marienburg, East Prussia, where his grave waited, Nazi formations lined the road, saluted the remains of their latest "martyr." Poles breathed easier when Fiihrer Hitler's gesture was confined to flowers. German newspapers played down the incident. The Danzig plum was not yet ripe, so eager Danzig Nazis must wait, perhaps "until autumn," for Anschluss with the Reich. Said Danzig Nazi Leader Helmuth Andres: Danzigers must remain quiet, even in the face...
