Since the Reichstag Building mysteriously went up in flames soon after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, Berlin's vast Kroll Opera House was pressed into service last week by Speaker Göring.

The entire diplomatic corps was there; deputies and Nazi officials jammed the aisles. Prominent in the distinguished visitors' gallery was Former Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, in uniform.

Excerpts...
