Dynamic Edda this-summer went to Berlin, was feted by Realmleader Hitler as if she had been visiting royalty, and returned to Rome with a photograph of Der Führer inscribed to Countess Ciano in the most complimentary terms. Today, at 33, Count Ciano is the youngest Foreign Minister of any Great Power, six years junior to Great Britain's "handsome young" Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. Just before leaving Rome last week he was made a general in the Fascist Militia, arrived at Berlin with a gold eagle on his cap and gold epaulets on his shoulders...
...Count Ciano merely went over in Berlin the understandings to which Italy and Germany have come in recent weeks, more or less secretly. A special sleeping-car train then took them to Berchtesgaden, whence they drove to the chalet Haus Wachenfeld, the Bavarian snuggery of Der Führer. Corporal Hitler, in a plain brown tunic with a large swastika just above the left elbow, saluted General Ciano who returned the salute. They talked for four hours.

Son-in-law Ciano laid a wreath on the steps of the Heroes' Temple in which are buried Storm Troopers killed in bloody German street brawls before the Nazis came to power. He laid another wreath on the monument marking the spot on which Government machine guns in 1923 opened fire...
Emotional, intuitive Adolf Hitler prefers to move in a mysterious way, but the net result of what Der Führer did last week was to put all German domestic affairs in the ham-fists of Hermann Wilhelm Göring who, in effect, became Vice Chancellor under Chancellor Hitler. This was accomplished when Der Führer signed a decree which recalled his promise to the Nurnberg Nazi Party Congress (TIME, Sept. 21) that by 1940 the Fatherland will have been made economically independent of all other countries. Last week the Realmleader vested in General Göring...
