Nervously they waited for him to begin. But as his words fell on the thick stillness there was no hint of an ultimatum to England. For an hour and a half he spoke, ramblingly, vituperatively, torrentially, shouting out a paean of victory, deviously justifying all his acts of aggression...
...Grouper, said over lunch: "It will be a good job when the British Empire is finished." Sentence: one year. A Leicester schoolteacher, Kathleen Mary Bursnall, got two months, ?20, for saying to soldiers: "You are bloody fools to wear that uniform."

The pavement beneath was a multicolored blanket of flowers strewn by white-bloused Hitler Maidens. Overhead the sun shone bright. It was a happy...
Accompanied by a staff of art historians and architectural experts, the Führer visited the Opera, strolled through the galleries of the half-emptied Louvre, went to the top of the Eiffel Tower where a swastika waved, toured Montmartre. It was all very interesting to a man who had never been outside Greater Germany (except for two State visits to Italy) before...
