...Sieg Heil!" For the next night, so that the royal party could see Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in near-perfect security, the Foreign Office had bought up all 1,100 tickets to the Aldwych theater, distributed them to a select audience that included lead ers of London's Greek community. Shortly before curtain time, a false report that a bomb had been planted in the theater led to the additional spectacle of police in evening clothes combing the royal box with a mine detector...
Eichmann only listened, sometimes locking and interlocking his long fingers, or tilting his head in an odd, three-quarter inclination of strict attention. Occasionally, a muscle twitched in his thin neck. Once, Hausner said sarcastically that "if the swastika flag were again to be raised with shouts of 'Sieg heil I', if there were again to resound the hysterical screams of the Führer, if again the high-tension barbed wires of the extermination centers were set up-Adolf Eichmann would rise, salute and go back to his work of oppression and butchery."

...Hitler fairly shouting with enthusiasm. 'That's it, Hanfstaengl, that is what we need for the movement, marvelous,' and he pranced up and down the room like a drum majorette." The "Rah, rah, rah!" refrain of Harvardmen, by Putzi's account, became the thunderous "Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" of the Brownshirt demonstrations. Storm Trooper bands blared their goose-step rhythms with a between-halves unison. Such Nazi slogans as Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer were patterned on the effective use of catch phrases in U.S. election campaigns. As Hitler's "American expert...
