Mackenzie, who reported the case in the British Medical Journal, believe that the paratrooper survived because he landed on one foot and fell sideways-the landing technique which U.S. experts now warn against.

It was in these circumstances that Hitler, on Aug. 25, appointed Heinrich Himmler Minister of the Interior, with full powers over the home front. Soon trials and executions of "defeatists" began.
