add to cart   close window

The author says that four times since 1933 the German ruler Adolf Hitler, prompted by a drastic necessity to let off internal steam, has confronted the world with a gesture shocking to the morally minded. Once the gesture was domestic, thrice it has been in the foreign field. his time is not the least important. As the author writes in the early hours of Friday morning, Hitler can claim almost complete victory. It is true that Germany has been rebuked by the League Council, but this was an academic gesture. The overwhelming impression of those best informed is that Hitler's wary and ruthless boldness has once again presented Europe with a "fail accompli" impossible to resist.
