Adolf Hitler exploded indignantly when Carl von Ossietzky, famed German pacifist, was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize while still a prisoner of the Third Reich (TIME, Nov. 30 et seq.). The decision of the awarders was reviled as "an insult to the German people." Nazis were forbidden thereafter to accept a Nobel Prize, were told that in future the Government would award similar prizes for Germans only...

Denmark has long been disarmed to the point of danger; according to military experts she would not be able to defend her capital...
...Pacifist Carl von Ossietzky (TIME, Nov. 30 et seq.), who only last week succeeded in getting assurance that the Reich would not confiscate his $40,000 prize. *To this 100% ambiguous statement, mildly uttered, Der Führer may at any time characteristically revert with angry vigor, making it mean then that Germany "claims" the colonies now under the British, French and other League Mandates "taken away from her after the World War," but such was not the meaning his amicable tone conveyed last week. †Reichsbank President Schacht, Foreign Minister von Neurath, Finance Minister von Krosigk, Chief of Staff...
