...party, arriving in Berlin, were treated with the greatest consideration. The President's daughter was given a great big bouquet of yellow roses tied with a red bow (on which was stamped a swastika). The party, taken to the Adlon Hotel to wash up, found their suite banked with "more flowers than had ever been in the hotel before." (There were also more steel-helmeted military sentries in the hotel than usual.) As a sobering sight, Nazis let Dr. Hácha review some troops while he waited...
