They are Mrs. Sabine Miller-von Levetzow, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Heidelberg, and Manfred Knap, a teaching fellow at a technical school in Darmstadt...
Three days later this element boiled to the top of the Party. Berlin's stern but not markedly anti-Semitic Chief of Police, old Rear Admiral Magnus von Levetzow, was ousted for not helping the Jew hunt along, replaced by that ruthless young huntsman Count Wolf von Helldorf.

Last week Leader Hitler was reported to be so favorably impressed by Admiral von Levetzow's reforms that he had made them the basis for a new State Traffic Code, effective Oct. 1, to "unify traffic regulations throughout Germany." To make the Fatherland traffic-conscious in advance of the new decree, thundering presses produced truckloads of pamphlets entitled Directions for Pedestrians...
