...Hitler's eye, had gone to Munich to play The Merry Widow). The Rhine suddenly rose, flooded machine-gun nests, concrete pillboxes and subterranean construction on Germany's great western fortifications. In the midst of spring fervor, Nazi health authorities publicized an unbelievable figure: 75% of all young men between 20 and 29, they said, proved, when examined for military purposes, jobs, or party membership, to be suffering from syphilis-a declaration that opened the door to lurid descriptions in Nazi papers, agitation that all healthy citizens be made to carry passes certifying their freedom from the disease...

S. no less than 4,900 local music clubs, with a total of 500,000 lady members ready to defend the diatonic scale as they would defend their young.
