...editor who wrote your story of Emden (TIME, Oct. 16) drew freely on his imagination, particularly in respect to the escape of the crew on board the Ayesha. Lieut. Capt. Helmuth von Mikke's account in his book Ayesha relates that the landing force of approximately 56 men, sent ashore by Capt. Miller to destroy the wireless station on Keeling Island (English), did just that and was caught ashore when the cruiser Sidney engaged and sank the Emden. Contrary to your romantic "jungle hiding," the landing party which was, of course, now in command of the island, outfitted...
Sometime later we welcomed to our very "Christmas Evey" party a tall man in his thirties, with a weather-beaten face and intense blue eyes surrounded by the tiny wrinkles which come from long years at sea. It was Lieut. Capt. Helmuth von Mücke. We sat down to Christmas Eve dinner about 8 o'clock. At midnight coffee was served (also Christmas cookies), but not until 3 o'clock in the morning did anyone think of the time or of moving from their places. We heard at first hand the story of those now world-famous...
...Kluck and Bülow drove through British resistance at Mons, the main French offensive, in the Ardennes, failed. The Third and Fourth German Armies crushed through on schedule, and the retreat to the Marne, though orderly, was saved from being a rout with Paris captured only because General Helmuth von Moltke, the German Commander in Chief: 1) weakened Kluck's Army by taking from it troops to police Belgium, 2) abandoned the classic outline of the Schlieffen Plan by letting Kluck swing east of Paris instead of west. Kluck further messed up the Plan by chasing the retreating...
Talk. In London, presumably to attend an international whaling conference, was Dr. Helmuth Wohlthat, Adolf Hitler's star traveling salesman. He had been to Spain in early summer, and last spring he had signed in Rumania a sensationally successful trade agreement which all but made Rumania an economic dependency of the Third Reich. Forty-four-year-old Dr. Wohlthat was a wanderlusty young man who sought his fortune in the U. S. and Mexico, married a German girl living in Philadelphia, was recalled to Germany in 1933 by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, the German financial wizard who was then beginning...
...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 of the worst Polish provocation. It is our responsibility not to force the Fiihrer in any way in the tempo he has chosen to rectify the wrong done by forceful separation of Danzig from the Reich...
