...irony was heightened when bustling Dr. Goebbels seized charge of preparations for Old Paul's funeral, shushed his son Col. Oscar von Hindenburg who wished the burial to take place in the family plot at Neudeck in East Prussia, and announced the von Hindenburg bones will lie in the Field Marshal's Tower of the huge, ugly, fortress-like memorial at Tannenberg. "Men only will be permitted to attend the funeral service," announced Dr. Goebbels. Correspondents were given privately to understand that it would be inappropriate for a German hero's obsequies to be marred by wailing women...

Sliced sausages, always a favorite dish of Junkers on their country estates, were set before Their Majesties at luncheon. Cooking at Neudeck is of the simplest, with an emphasis on boiled potatoes, home-made cheese and common greens. Oranges for dessert are rated a treat, served peeled and sliced.
