...known the Führer's mind (who as usual kept all he knew discreetly to himself) was a man named Heinrich Himmler. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, State Councillor of Prussia, deputy of the Reichstag, Herr Himmler is better known for two other far more important titles: Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel (the famed, black-uniformed 55 Guards), and Inspector of the dread, notorious Gestapo (State Secret Police). From the founder and ruler of the Third Reich's State Secret Police there can be few State secrets...

Sir Oswald Mosley, 42, leader of Great Britain's black-shirted Fascists; and The Honorable Diana Freeman-Mitford, 28, whom Adolf Hitler once called "the ideal Nordic woman"; both for the second time; in Munich, a year ago. Because the best man, Reichsführer Hitler, had the records impounded, the marriage was kept secret. The bride's younger sister Unity Valkyrie has been booed and stoned in England, once was arrested in Czechoslovakia because of her open admiration for Hitler...
Father to Reichsführer Adolf Hitler's thoughts of Drang nach Osten was Charlemagne, who late in the 8th Century had his eye on the throne of the Byzantine Empire. Charlemagne planned an arterial waterway from the North Sea to the Black Sea via the Rhine and the Danube, thence to the Eastern capital, Constantinople. But when his engineers tried to link up the Rhine and the Danube, rains and mountains stymied them...
