...Sunday Times, viewed the Geyer issue from a safe perch on the fence. In the third volume, published this week (Knopf; $5), Mr. Newman let himself carefully down on the non-Aryan side. Fundamental premise: Geyer was a lodger in the household of Police Actuary Carl Friedrich Wagner in Leipzig; there is no evidence that he was not there in the late summer of 1812, when Johanna Rosina Wagner conceived the child who was to be called Richard. New evidence:* in the early summer of 1813, Frau Wagner journeyed with her newborn infant smack through the middle of a Napoleonic...
...enough lead, zinc, and magnesium. That was all. Two-thirds of her iron ore and 85% of her copper had to be imported. To feed her highly-developed smelters at Leipzig, Breslau, etc., she had little or no bauxite (aluminum ore), antimony, tin or the critical ferro-alloy metals: molybdenum, tungsten, chrome, nickel. The map shows how conquest enlarged her resources. Fine lines show her post-Versailles boundaries, the heavy line her holdings at the end of year I of World...

Junkers aircraft are made at Leipzig, also at Bern-burg and Dessau, which the R. A. F. duly visited. At Berlin, the first important industrial target hit was the Siemens-Schuckert electrical works...

Their only countermeasure last week begun in advance was to try to devastate the Ruhr munitions works, to bomb at long range German aircraft production centres at Dessau, Rostock, Oranienburg, Augsburg, Rangsdorf, Johan-nisthal, Gotha, Schonefeld, Halle, Leipzig. Factories in those places were believed to be supplying Germany with 50 warplanes and 90 motors a day. Hopefully the British declared that their own defenses could inflict 40% losses (coming & going) on Nazi bombers who attack them at home. Nonetheless, the British faced a serious tactical disadvantage if Germany...
