He was still the same Hitler, always being persecuted, first by those fearful bullies, the Jews, next by that ogre, Dr. Schuschnigg, third by that world power, Czecho-Slovakia, and now by these tyrants, the Poles.

Aged by a year's close confinement, the once dapper Baron last week stepped out of a plane in Zurich, Switzerland, a free man again, liberated for an unknown ransom...
Latest big von Papen intrigue took place in Austria, where he was sent as Ambassador to prepare the way for Anschluss. His big moment came when he arranged the Hitler-Schuschnigg conference at Berchtesgaden which sealed the fate of independent Austria.
