Fuhrer's Week
Last week Nazis in Berlin prophesied a quiet, leisurely two or three weeks for turbulent Europe. Reason: Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, after entertaining Regent Prince Paul of Yugoslavia for four days, after getting the signatures of Estonia and Latvia to non-aggression pacts and honoring the Latvian Foreign Minister with the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, and after commuting to ten years' imprisonment the death sentence of a young woman who murdered her illegitimate baby, headed south for his Berchtesgaden eyrie.
Later the Fuehrer, in one of his musical moods, showed up in Vienna to watch Richard Strauss celebrate his 75th birthday by conducting his Symphonia Domestica. The Fuehrer also heard a new Nazified Strauss opera Der Friedenstag (Day of Peace) and honored Composer Strauss with a banquet lasting until 3 a.m. Next day the Fuehrer saw a comedy called He Wants to Have a Spree. Next scheduled speech of the Fuehrer: July 19, at the launching of a new German warship.
