White-faced and shaking, Adolf Hitler last week stood beside an open grave in Gräfelfing cemetery near Munich. Massed behind him were most of Germany's Nazi bigwigs. The Realmleader had come to bury his chauffeur, Julius Schreck, 32, dead of inflammation of the brain. The service was brief, manly, preacherless. A Nazi philosopher orated on the theme, "Let the furies of hell battle against me; I will ride through death and the devil." Instead of a psalm, the mourners sang Though All Should Prove Unfaithful, anthem of Nazidom's elite Schutzstaffel (Black Shirts), whose chief...
...Congo a glowering male gorilla beats his breast, while the female leans placidly against a tree, watching her baby eat wild celery. At a waterhole a mother giraffe with widespread forelegs is bending down to drink. Beside her are the male, keeping watch, and the calf. Nearby a young Grévy's zebra is suckling its mother.

...dawn that day in a misty Berlin prison courtyard two cringing figures in suits of coarse sacking were led out, their hands chained behind their backs. Headsman August Gröber, 67 and spry for his age, advanced in impeccable full dress exuding Eau de Cologne. An artist, as are all great executioners, Gröber keeps his blade on ice until the last second, figures that blood has a tendency to congeal on an iced blade and hence will not spout on his boiled shirt. Swish-clump! Swish-clump!-two heads rolled in the sand. One of them, declared...
