...troubles began in September 1956, when a bomb hidden in a fire extinguisher smashed the office of a Hamburg sporting-goods dealer named Otto Schlüter, killing one man. Schluter's "sporting" weapons, police say, included hand grenades and medium guns bought in Communist Czechoslovakia and destined for Algeria. Schlüter survived that first bomb attempt and a later one that buckled his Mercedes sedan and killed his mother. Frankfurt Gun-Runner Georg Puchert was not so lucky. When he started his Mercedes one morning last March, a bomb exploded squarely under him. Puchert fell dead across...

But when his administration was involved in accusations of bribery, embezzlement and maltreatment, the British fired...

"National Socialism is the most healthy movement in Germany since the turn of the century." he is reported to have shouted from a political platform. In the ultranationalist region of Lower Saxony and in the disorder of early postwar politics, such demagoguery served him well.
