...state of Paraná. They saw none of them, and the steep, jungle-tangled Serra dos Dourados mountains in the western part of the state deflected both settlers, missionaries and slave hunters. Nothing more was reported about the primitives until 1906, when a Czech scientist named Albert Fritsch made a field trip into the region and met some comparatively advanced Indians dragging three captives who spoke an unknown tongue. He discovered that the captives called themselves Xetsá (pronounced shee-tahss). He studied their language superficially and then apparently dismissed them as a branch of the well-known Guarani people...

Six years later, he saw his friend and colleague, Werner von Fritsch, sacked and tried on a trumped-up morality charge. Von Rundstedt protested. By that time he saw that the Nazis' course was leading to war with Britain, which he feared, and he asked for retirement. In 1939, Hitler called him back to command an army group in Poland; von Rundstedt...
...beginning of the exhibit is a quotation from General Oberst Baron Werner von Fritsch, former chief of the German General Staff: "the Nation with the best photographic interpretation will win the next war." The following posters trace the three phases of photographic interpretation in action, and include copies of reconnaissance reports on Japanese island fortifications, and pictures of enemy, installations from the Navy's operational files...
