...clearly they were facing the Dictator with the fact that he had been the chief accomplice in uniting a German Field Marshal with the daughter of a masseuse. According to best-posted Berlin sources, the canny German generals used what they thought was their advantage over the crestfallen Fiihrer-who maintained that he had been "duped" by Bridegroom von Blomberg-to open a blunt discussion of the many points on which Army leaders have long differed with the Nazis...

The thing to give simple Adolf, decided deep Benito, was a rousing anti-Jewish article in Dictator Mussolini's personal newsorgan Popolo d'Italia. This tongue-in-cheek lashing of Jews last week served II Duce the further purpose of permitting him to attack by implication the Premier of France, M. Leon Blum, a Socialist and a Jew.
