Adolf Hitler turned over his German Navy last week to a new commander, Rear Admiral Rolf Carls. Simultaneously Nazi warships in Spanish waters began to swagger. The cruiser Konigsberg had been "commanding" Spanish Reds by radio to set free the seized Nazi steamer Palos (TIME, Jan. 4).

In the cockpit sat a brown-shirted youth named Kurt Schmidt, 27, a philology student at Konigsberg and a Nazi Storm Trooper. It was a good day for a sail-fresh breezes were blowing-and Student Schmidt thought he might stay up until afternoon, so he carried a bottle of drinking water, a few slices of black bread.
