...diplomats believe that five weeks ago Chancellor Hitler made a feint in Czechoslovakia's direction when he moved 170,000 troops into "summer barracks" nearer the border.

Perched there he spoke with the pride and feeling of an automobile salesman on the subject of Germany's new Strength-through-Joy (Kraft durch Freude) flivver.
