...London Olda was a sensation. Sir Henry Wood made her his orchestra's soloist for the Albert Hall season in early 1939. Olda's parents went to London and rewarded her with a Continental holiday. In Poland they were trapped by the war and the Nazis. The Gestapo took Father Mehr to one concentration camp, mother and daughter to another...
...unlike those in Yugoslavia, are largely made up of Communists-who until World War II comprised the third largest party in France. When the Party was banned in 1939 they hid their guns. Recently they have been joined by veteran officers and soldiers and by men marked by the Gestapo. They recognize General Charles de Gaulle as their leader...
...said Mussolini, "will give powerful assistance in the form of antiaircraft artillery to insure Italian defenses."

He had had concrete evidence of Nazi espionage within his country when a Gestapo agent and "diplomat," Gottfried Sandstede escaped (TIME, Sept. 8, 1941). As Argentines gathered on Pearl Harbor Day, he had more evidence, again pointing directly to Buenos Aires' German Embassy...
