...bring about a coup."Piatakov and Radek joined in confessing they sabotaged the work of Stalin's "Dear Friend Grigoriy" Ordzhonikidze, so that Heavy Industry has fallen behind the Soviet Plan. Piatakov, extending his confession into what became a lecture, told of alighting at Berlin's Tempelhof Field, being supplied with a forged German passport with a Norwegian visa, flying on to Oslo; conferring with Trotsky, and getting back to Russia without exciting the Ogpu's suspicion. This may seem possible if the thoroughness of Soviet, German and Norwegian secret police methods is not known...
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.

Even before the thundering tri-motor reached Tempelhof Field its radio had spoken and in high Nazi circles the President's steadying hand was felt. Old Paul had persuaded Chancellor Hitler that the way to ORDER lay in retaining Vice Chancellor von Papen and taking certain other vital steps with which the German Press soon hummed...
