...mother nor petty merchant like his father. So he ran away from home to the arty and radical circles of Munich's Bohemia, where "nothing was so taboo as sentimentality," where anarchism, drunkenness and futurism foretold coming decades of disintegration. They came: the World War, the Bavarian Soviet Republic, inflation, hunger, humiliation, the Nazis. Oskar Graf thought more & more of his mother. He identified her with the masses, "the blameless German people . . . already behind the plow, in the workshops, factories, and offices, working as hard as ever, without particularly concerning themselves about the forces that were waiting to mislead...

These made much of "massed troops" in Russia's Northern Bukovina, the partial evacuation of Cer-nauti on the Rumania-Russian border, rumored movements of Soviet tanks and motorized units, the visit to Bessarabia of Russian Commissar of Defense Semion Timoshenko. The principal business of Marshal Timoshenko was to visit his home town and chat with his rickety brother.
