When a couple of young hoods of the tiny, neo-Nazi German Reich Party daubed swastikas on a Cologne synagogue last Christmas Eve, a sort of involuntary twinge stirred memories round the world. Surely not again? The rash of similar incidents that followed, in Germany and abroad, are now on the wane, but at week's end, with a vehemence rare in him. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer went on the air with a remedy for anti-Semites in action: "I say to all my German fellow citizens, if you catch a ruffian anywhere, execute the punishment on the spot...
Adenauer was alarmed by the furor the sick manifestations of anti-Semitism in Germany had stirred abroad, particularly in Britain, and by the criticism that present-day Germany is spreading a "cover of silence" over Nazi misdeeds of 20 years ago while ex-Nazis are turning up in high places, in both East and West German governments.

...about one-half of the camps they visited, the Red Cross inspectors found conditions "satisfactory to good." (One of the best, they noted, was run by a French officer who had been an inmate of Nazi Germany's Dachau concentration camp.)

Embittered by the Allies' creation of Yugoslavia after World War I, Pavelic promised obedience to Nazi Germany in return for a new state of Croatia with himself at the head...
...return the next night? What brought on this particularly savage sortie, the last and worst of the blitz? Collier can only make a guess. The night before, an insomnia-ridden Adolf Hitler had poked irritably at the log fire in his Bavarian mountain-lodge retreat; a captive audience of Nazi underlings yawned in their teacups. Then Hitler's secretary, Martin Bormann, and Pilot Hans Baur brought up the recent British raid on Berlin; was not some reprisal in order? Though every available aircraft was being readied for top-secret Operation Barbarossa (the attack on Russia), Hitler foolishly agreed...
