...book's author, Journalist Armando Chavez Camacho of Mexico City, a choice comment by Adolf Hitler on Sancho Davila, a burly Falangist bullyboy who had once killed two party rivals in a political brawl, and had long been feuding with Serrano Suñer. Sneered the Führer: "[Sancho Davila] is stupidity personified . . . the greatest fool ever to come to my headquarters...
Deported Fritz Kuhn, 52, prewar U.S. Bundesführer, had lost some weight, but still talked as big as ever. Appealing a ten-year rap as a major Nazi offender before a court in Munich, he bellowed that the Bund had been strictly "an American patriotic organization," had used the swastika only because it was "an old American Indian design," had patterned its uniforms after the U.S. National Guard rather than the SS.

In World Without Visa, a story of Marseille under the Vichy regime, France's Jean Malaquais wrote. perhaps the year's best political novel...
...caused them to die so horribly, and to what end? How does Nordic supremacy look when more than a quarter of a million of its devotees are hobbling and crawling, half-mad and half-dead, through an icy, foreign wasteland? How does the image of the divine Führer look to his worshipers in the moment when they themselves have "become bridges and carpets for his foot to trample upon...
