Count Ciano, dressed in a white suit, was half an hour late. The Führer, who has recently been in a beaming, expansive mood, and who at Berchtesgaden likes to sleep late in the morning and talk late at night with his old cronies, was cordial. Lunch was long. Long was the talk after it. At tea time Count Ciano was still there. Then, literally as well as figuratively, the Führer took his guest, emissary of his Axis partner, up in the mountains to look at the view...
Panorama. Not far from his Berghof the Führer has built an even stranger retreat-a steel-and-glass "eagle's nest" atop Mt. Kehlstein. Few Nazis have seen it. Magnificent as is the view from the Berghof, it is surpassed by the panorama that opens below the eagle's nest-mountains stretching on over South Germany, into Ostmark, disappearing into the blue haze of distance in the south. Southeast lies Yugoslavia with its rich land of Croatia and the seacoast of Dalmatia stretching down the Adriatic. Eastward lies fertile Hungary, and Rumania with its oil wells...
...correspondents could confidently guess the main topics of the Führer's talk. But they had a lot to talk about-Hungary, where Nazi economic dominance has steadily increased; Yugoslavia, where negotiations between Croats and Serbs were broken off, whose Premier made a mysterious flight to Italy; Spain, where General Franco set up a new Cabinet; Italy, where economic conditions were reported increasingly bad and where some mysterious reversal upset the maneuvers of the Army of the Po; The Netherlands, shaken with political crises, a far-reaching bank failure, and alarmed for her Pacific Empire; Russia, where...
...hrer Hitler and his ally had a lot to talk about, because the Europe that spread before them is already at war. It is a war of words and nerves, a war fought with weapons so strange and novel that they make machine guns look like good old cross-bows-rolling barrages of slander timed to the minute; ceaseless bombardments of rumors, blankets of lies and alarms as blinding as poison gas; provocations exploding like mines before advancing troops; flank attacks of economic reprisals, feints with threats, promises, atrocities, radio broadcasts, newspaper assaults launched simultaneously and redirected at noon...
Last week, Germany's journalistic big guns, their aim corrected twice daily, poured an unceasing barrage on Poland. Danzig's Nazi Gauleiter Albert Forster spent two hours with the Führer, hurried to Danzig to thunder still another demand for its return to the Reich-but significantly set no date nor hour for the return. Danzig itself was in a bad way. Its business had gradually approached a standstill-and Nazi papers accused Poland of strangling its trade. Its armed force of Nazis was estimated at 15,000, augmented last week by 1,500 spade-equipped members...
