...point, Truman called the whole operation off to smooth the Bear's ruffled fur. Nazi changes of command kept eliminating generals who were sympathetic to Sunrise and replacing them with generals who were not. From Berlin, a counterplot by Himmler, designed only to steal the play away from Wolff, threatened to retire Sunrise to the limbo of lost causes. The generals of the various Nazi commands in Italy fought among themselves over the issue of a negotiated peace, and Wehrmacht tanks once even leveled their guns on Wolff's SS headquarters in Bolzano...

Wolff's fellow Germans were more severe: in 1964 a court sentenced him to 15 years for being "continuously engaged and deeply entangled in guilt...
...March 1945, this private conduit had admitted an astonishing emissary onto Swiss soil: Nazi General Karl Wolff, commander of the SS (Hitler's elite Schutzstaffel) in northern Italy.

It may also decide the outcome of several House races, where independent peace candidates might take votes from hard-pressed Democratic freshmen such as Michigan's Weston Vivian and New York's Lester Wolff. So far, however, no candidate of either party who ran on an antiwar platform has won.

...more than 100,000 tons; on order are 19 more for delivery by the end of next year. The British delivered their first leviathan, the 106,000-ton British Admiral, to British Petroleum last year, and Shell Oil Co. has just ordered a 170,000-tonner from Harland & Wolff in Belfast. Esso has contracted for a 152,000-ton ship from Bremen, three 170,800-tonners from Kiel, and two of 170,000 from French shipyards. Swedish shipbuilders, whose modern yards last year captured second place from the British in total tonnage built, will deliver in April...
