...Realmleader, might lose that privilege and even be sent packing back to Moscow. Packing back to Berlin with the fervent curses of the Bolsheviks in his ears would then be sent Ambassador Graf Friedrich von der Schulenburg, an exasperatingly bland German. No matter what insults Soviet newsorgans hurl at Hitler week after week, Schulenburg is never instructed to protest, turns up smiling at Bolshevik receptions, refuses to let Communists get his goat...
