Nevertheless, to make sure he had never been on the Nazi side, he was quizzed for seven days in the Army screening center in Bad Orb. Then the A.M.G. rounded up ten editorial assistants for him, lent them newsprint, and put them to work in the big red brick building that once housed the famed Ullstein publishing house...
Bison's beastliness proves too much for hypersensitive little Frank. At 21 he no longer walks in the forest, where the baton of the "invisible choirmaster" conducts music that used to make Frank's heart soar "on wings of agonized joy."

The pictures from Limburg (see cuts) spoke for themselves. They were stark testimony of the barbarous state into which the once correct, highly professional Wehrmacht had fallen. More than that, they were the final proof, if any was still needed, that Germany would have...
