A recent issue of the Essener National Zeitung (Göring's paper) announced, as evidence of the success of Industrial Dictator Albert Speer's rationalization program, that in the past six months the number of firms producing special...
...Crowley pointed out, his patent grabs mean that "some of the finest research achievements of modern science" will be available to any interested U.S. manufacturer.
