A stop at Stuttgart, 50 miles from the front-the huge station was ghostly under dim lights in its cavernous interior as one detachment of soldiers swung off the Welles train, another swung aboard. An English-speaking soldier asked a question about the Welles mission (which was not then discussed in the Nazi press) was sharply shut up by a Nazi official...
