...unprecedented thud as Reich Marshal Göring-a parachute at each corner-settles on and perhaps submerges the Isle of Wight or Skye." > A London newsie chalked on his placard "Extra! Return of Loch Ness Monster." > Other professional and amateur British humorists punned at length. Examples: Mein Dekampf, Your Hess is as good as mine, Hess Sir, That's My Baby, Trojan Hess, Hessteria...
Fortnight before, Hitler's "shadow"-the young World War I infantryman and Air Force pilot who had got caught in the 1923 Munich beer-hall Putsch and had gone to jail with Hitler and had helped him write Mein Kampf in prison-had traveled to Augsburg and decorated Willy Messerschmitt at the Messerschmitt aircraft factory for services to the Fatherland. Three days later Hess had sat on the dais of Berlin's Kroll Opera House, arms folded and beetle-brows lowered, while his frenzied colleague of 21 hard years of struggle had crowed over the victory...
...most colonial experts outside Germany, the Nazis' colonial drum used to sound pretty limp from banging, was not a very compelling instrument. Even Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf loudly disclaimed colonial ambitions, insisted rather on the European expansion of the Reich.

Here and there a tall, pale-eyed individual intoned the words of Britain's national anthem. Two Americans sang My Country 'Tis of Thee...
Most of the writers popular with the Nazis have little reputation outside Germany. Gobineau and H. S. Chamberlain are discredited; "Mein Kampf" and Dr. Goebbels' pamphlets are not read from any desire for truth or information. Nietzsche, however, is a part of our own cultural inheritance--he has had followers among the intelligentsia of France, England, and the United States. Till now there has been no adequate English biography of this philosopher-prophet, only a few commentaries by such authors as H. L. Mencken, whose book is more Mencken business than Nietzschean, and W. H. Wright, alias...
