...Balkans did the great offensive of the war of nerves find a soft spot in the defense. In Rumania, King Carol made a speech of surprising firmness, declaring that Rumanian frontiers could not be changed. In Yugoslavia, Croats and Serbs gave promise of ending their feud...

Magnificent as is the view from the Berghof, it is surpassed by the panorama that opens below the eagle's nest-mountains stretching on over South Germany, into Ostmark, disappearing into the blue haze of distance in the south.

During the doubles match, while Henkel & Menzel were beating Puncec & Kukuljevic, Yugoslavian spectators, resenting the appearance of Menzel on the German team, booed "Back to Sudetenland!", raised such a rumpus that the Germans hired a bodyguard to protect their Anschlussed star.
