Decade ago a strapping young German Catholic priest, who had entered the order of Oblates of Mary Immaculate after serving as a War pilot, found himself stationed for home missionary work near Berlin's Tempelhof airport. To obtain a civilian pilot's license tall, blond Rev. Paul Schulte flew surreptitiously until his ecclesiastical superiors discovered it, grounded him. To this disappointment was added deeper sorrow when Father Schulte learned of the fate which had overtaken a fellow Oblate, Rev. Otto Fuhrmann with whom he had been inseparable in the flying corps, in whose company he had entered...
...greet a hero, Berliners flocked out to their great Tempelhof Air Drome last week amid blaring brass bands and goose-stepping Special Guards of Realmleader Hitler's crack detachment.

Nazis celebrated by staging at Berlin's vast Tempelhof Air Field one of the greatest mass meetings the world has ever seen. It was best described by Frederick T. Birchall of the New York Times who last week won the 1934 Pulitzer Prize for topnotch foreign correspondence (see p. 59). Excerpts: "It has been said that there were...
...sooner had the regimented millions of Berlin (see p. 18) tramped home from Tempelhof Field to soak their tired feet than they had real news to read in their papers. Dissatisfied with the results of the famed Reichstag Fire trial in which all but one of the five defendants were acquitted, the Nazi government announced the establishment of a new "People's Court" to take all cases of high treason from the penal division of the Supreme Court...
