Evening editions of German papers brought the blow: Adolf Hitler had decreed that the term of conscripts in the German Army should be upped from one year to two, thus enlarging it from 600,000 to 800,000 at minimum estimate, and making every Frenchman gulp with alarm. It appeared to all European military experts that the German infantry machine was being put on a footing more powerful than the French for the first time since 1914. Amid the yelps of every Paris paper appeared such cold, professional judgments as this from General Auguste Edouard Hirschauer: "It is my opinion...
...strange things about Germany in recent years has been the inability of Nazis and Catholics to get together. Adolf Hitler is a Catholic and has at his elbow a Papal Chamberlain in the person of Ambassador-on-Special-Mission Franz von Papen who as long ago as 1933 negotiated a Concordat for Der Führer with Il Papa. Yet typical Nazi newsorgans have been stewing up hotter & hotter scandals about German Catholic dignitaries, lumping them all, by implication, as currency smugglers and sexual perverts.

My barber in London told me Hitler saved all Europe from Communism. That's how he felt. Of course, I don't condone everything the Nazis do. Anti-Semitism? Bad, naturally. I suppose Hitler sees a Karl Marx in every...
First religious journal to plumb the implications of Dr. Buchman's plea was Zion's Herald, influential New England Methodist weekly which editorialized: "Just what would happen if Adolf Hitler, shorn of all his pagan power, were suddenly to become a St. Francis of Assisi? Would not such a conversion immediately mark the end of all bluster, swashbuckling, regimentation, coercion, intolerance, and persecution? Dictatorship would instantly fade away at the touch of Christ, whose whole method was teaching and persuasion...
