After the war, Heyde was interned by the Allies but escaped to the north German state of Schleswig-Holstein, where, as "Dr. Fritz Sawade," he established a flourishing practice. Though many ranking Schleswig-Holstein officials were aware of Sawade's real identity, he was never taken into custody; over the years the doctor collected some $75,000 in fees as an expert medical witness before the state's courts. At last, in 1959 Sawade was unmasked as Heyde and thrown into jail...
Since Von Hassel needs several weeks to wind up his job as Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein, the bleak state bordering on Denmark, there was a comic confusion about who would fill the job until he arrives in Bonn. No one seemed able to decide. At first everyone assumed that Strauss's former No. 2 man in the ministry would have the interim job, but an official spokesman named another man for the job. At last came the baffling declaration that burly Franz Josef Strauss himself would return to the Defense post until Von Hassel could take over...
Saintly Pompadour. Mary Lee sailed for Europe in 1855, an outwardly demure 17-year-old determined to make her mark and spread her Calvinist faith. When she snagged the elderly Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, she planned a honeymoon of New Testament grandeur.

Though his family accused Mary of murdering him by too many bedroom "fatigues," Mary inherited $4,000,000 in cash, several châteaux...
...West Germany last week came the first warning of the trouble that can flow from the defeat of EDC. In Schleswig-Holstein, the poorest and most discontented of West Germany's nine states, Konrad Adenauer's Christian Democratic coalition suffered a setback at the polls. Where Adenauer got 47% of the vote last year, his slate last week got only 32%, a drop of 250,000 votes. The opposition Social Democrats, who got 26.5% of the vote last time, actually outdrew the Christian Democrats by 11,000 votes...
Restrictions Voluntary. Campaigning last week in a provincial election in Schleswig-Holstein, Konrad Adenauer came out strongly for an end of the Allied occupation of West Germany and for unfettered German sovereignty. "We ask this," said der Alte, "for our national honor and our justifiable national feelings." Once Germany has its sovereignty, he said, it would apply for admission to NATO and consent to restrictions on German rearmament. The restrictions would have to be voluntary, for since the death of EDC not even Adenauer will agree to discriminations imposed by outsiders; the restrictions would also have to be real...
