...prepare himself spiritually for his grueling week of speeches Der Führer went on the eve of the Congress to Nurnberg's annual command performance of his favorite opera, a five-hour unabridged performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger, heard his favorite tenor, soulful-looking Eyvind Lahome (nè plain Victor Johnson of Birmingham, Ala.). Despite Der Fuhrer's frequent blasts against the U. S. in general, Herr Hitler applauds U. S. Citizen Lahome in particular as the ideal interpreter of Walther the Wagnerian knight, has awarded him the rare State title of Kammersänger...
...Badenweiler, minced his way to the speaker's stand through a lane of Storm Troopers as wave upon wave of throaty cheers thundered down the long hall. As is traditional, apple-cheeked Rudolf Hess, deputy leader, opened the Congress; Julius Streicher, rabid Jew hater, welcomed the Führer and the party members to Nurnberg, Streicher's own stamping ground. And as is traditional, Hitler did not address the first session, instead sat messiah-like on the haupttribüne while rasping-voiced Adolf Wagner, Munich Nazi leader, read the Fuhrer's Proclamation. Nazis laud the Proclamation...
Stupid Democracies. No small feather in the Führer's bonnet this year was the attendance of virtually the entire Berlin diplomatic corps for a 48-hour flying visit to the Party Congress-hitherto boycotted by democratic diplomats.

Dodd), who is expected soon to resign, Sir Nevile Meyrick Henderson, British Ambassador, and Andr...
...pomp was lavished on these foreign envoys. Housed in sleeping cars in a Nürnberg freight yard, they shared a crude drawing room, had to walk down the tracks for their baths. Only official recognition of their presence was a tea with Hitler at which the Führer moved among the tables, chatting with them. Night before envoys of the U. S., Britain and France arrived, toucan-beaked Minister of Propaganda Paul Joseph Goebbels gibed that democracies were "stupid cows going to the slaughter house...
...their boundaries, less known than any other equally important government in the world. Now in the 14th month of its history, it is running fairly smoothly as a totalitarian state. The leader of all totalitarian states must have a potent sounding title. Hitler's is the Führer. Mussolini's is II Duce. Franco's is El Caudillo (the chief). He is not only chief of the army, but chief of all Rightist Spain's political, social and economic activities. Like Germany and Italy (and Russia) in fact, in theory, Rightist Spain...
