Germany's rearmament program, one of the government's biggest political headaches, ran into new snags this month as draft boards throughout !the country reported that eligible nineteen-year-olds were not reporting for draft registration. German boys born in July, August or September of 1937 were scheduled to appear for registration during the first two weeks in November. In Nuremberg, Germany, once the center of Nazi fanaticism, less than 25 per cent showed up by the deadline date. In Munich, Germany, cradle of the Third Reich, less than 10 per cent reported. In Cologne, only half appeared. In Stuttgart, the total reporting was only 30 per cent.
