...have constant relations not only with my own organization in Germany but also with numerous soldiers and members of the Nazi Party," Otto Strasser told the Paris-Soir. "I can tell you that Germany is ready for an anti-Hitler revolution but it will take time. Higher officers of the Army are too subservient to Hitler to take part. But the Nazis have many enemies among the colonels, majors and subordinate officers. For a revolt to be successful in the Reich, three things will be needed. First, Germans who still believe in Hitler must feel the horrors of war; second...
...Britain may take good heart from the American Civil War when all the heroism of the South could not redeem their cause from the stain of slavery, just as all the courage and skill, which the Germans show in war, will not free them from the reproach of Naziism with its intolerance and brutality," cried Winston Churchill month ago.

...right to attend press meetings or send dispatches, because of this "violation of the hospitality of the Reich," Newsman Conger was effectively silenced. Stern Dr. Bomer offered to restore his privileges if the Herald Tribune would print a retraction.
