...turned up in the cross reference data at the Berlin Documents Center, an archive of old Nazi membership files rescued from the storage heap of a West German papermill after the war. Resisting the temptation to spill the facts on Bartsch, intelligence bided its time. Fortnight ago, the rising Herr Bartsch became agricultural czar, and at this point out to West Berlin newspapers went full dossiers on the new Communist Cabinet Minister...
