A onetime Police President of Berlin testified that 1,500 arresting warrants were ready for use immediately after the fire. Liberal Editor Georg Bernhard and Social Democrat Chairman Dr. Rudolf Breitscheid agreed that the Nazis were the only party that...
Blond, barrel-chested Hermann Wilhelm Goring, Premier of Prussia, Prussian Minister of the Interior, President of the Reichstag, Reich Minister of Aviation, has a multitude of gaudy self-designed uniforms differing from those of other Nazis. Last week, to set off the doeskin military cloak that has attracted much attention of late, he acquired a new pair of trousers, blazing with the broad scarlet stripes of an honorary General of Infantry...
