Back in Switzerland, after the war began, Foote transmitted such information as the Russian network could pick up about the German army's order of battle (strength and disposition of forces). He claims that one colleague, whose cover name was "Lucy," obtained complete Wehrmacht dispositions during the war. If so, and if the Russians credited the information from Switzerland, they need seldom have been surprised. Later, says Foote, Lucy turned out to be an adviser to the Swiss government with perfect high-level sources in Wehrmacht headquarters...
...Unified Germany. The next day, America's crack occupation troops bade their commander a military farewell. On the vast parade field at Grafenwohr, once a training ground for Adolf Hitler's Wehrmacht, 11,000 U.S. soldiers snapped and wheeled through a 90-minute review. A battery of 105-mm. guns barked a 17-gun salute. From a jeep the 52-year-old general stood stiffly and watched the display, a hint of tears in his eyes. Overhead, in a brilliant, cloudless sky, 60 Thunderbolt fighters formed a gigantic C-L-A-Y as they roared past, and then...
...undertaking was Lawrence Stallings' The First World War, which ran for seven reels and consumed about all the good photographic material available on World War I.

...nationalist problem is far more subtle than Jilka's hysteria, far less a conspiracy of individuals than of circumstances. It is not being nourished by would-be world conquerors or old Wehrmacht leaders meeting in secret underground. It is being nourished by the Soviet-zone concentration camps, which are no more decent than those of the Nazis, by the Soviet blockade of Berlin, by the division of Germany, by the inescapably antidemocratic machinery of military occupation, by the bitter polemics between East & West, by divisions among the Western powers that keep them from forming a coherent policy of their...
...issue TIME'S editors introduced a new, occasional department, Background For War, dedicated to the proposition that world war was close at hand and that you would understand it better if we reviewed the events which led up to it. The week the German Wehrmacht invaded Poland Background gave way to another new department, World War. As the war progressed we added Army & Navy and World Battlefronts, changed National Affairs to U.S. At War, dropped World War and, when the end was in sight, introduced International as the correct department for all of the events which would then...
