Former Professor Sees Hilter's Old Bierhalle
Hitler's bierhalle, where the now noted Nazi party formulated itsressive ideals, was seen in 1936 by Dr. E. F. Engel, former professor of German at the University.
Professor Engel was in Germany
at that time with his family, as one
of the nine educators sent by the
arl Schurz foundation at Philadelphia to study the educational
system there. He is a former graduate of the University and was for
twice a faculty member.
"This Munich beer hall," Dr. Enel explained, "was one of many here young Germans met and formed fraternal groups called kneibe."
"The bierchail is a traditional and popular social institution for the youth who consume as many as 33asses of beer in one evening."
"It is there that under the influence of dring and soothing music the various movements of Germany have been startled."
litler Began Ideology in 1920
"And it is there that Hitler in 1920 fell in with a group of about disatisfied men, launching the medical ideology, that has brought disaster to Germany," Dr. Engel aid.
"The little party soon expanded
lining the hall to its capacity of a
undred, taking it over some nights,
saying only for their beer."
or, Engel was in Germany a number of times earlier and was able to see the country under the so-called free reichs; first under the Kaiser, then the ill-fated Weimar republic, and finally under Adolph Hitler.
It was in 1923, he explained, that Germany was politically discontented and economically weakened so that the party felt strong enough
to make its unsuccessful "扑uch". He continued the history of Hitler's rise to power by telling of his release from prison, and the election of the uptset to the chancellorship in 1933. Their plurality was sufficient to defeat the 30 other German parties, whose wrangling brought the failure of the republic.
Leader's Credit Hitler
"It is at this time that his leaders credited him with saving the country from the violent communist party," he added.
Dr. Engel, on his visit to Potsdam, suburb of Berlin where Hitler became chancellor, stood in the pulpit of the Garrison church where the dictator made his promise to reassert the master race and avenge the Versailles treaty.
From the administrator of education in Berlin, Dr. Engel received a pass to enter any educational institutions in Germany. In 1936 he could see the Nazi ideology already stamped into the minds of the youth.
"I saw them stand and give the 'heil Hitler' salute, and I read the texts on German history that deliberately had been changed to coincide with Nazi beliefs," he explained.
"Hitler as a man," he concluded, "was an unimpressive person with a poor physique, but his gift of speech and vigor of address brought him his mass following."

Zukhov Hailed As Efficient Red Chief of Staff
He entered the army in 1915 as a private. After the revolution in Russia he received an education and became prominent by his fighting in Mongolia in 1938.
Zhukov's slogan is "every man must fight like 10." That is the reason for the German defeat in Russia which he says was caused by the Germans being used to easy victories and "what they found here was real war that they were not ready for."
His contributions to the victories is said to be the elimination of a lot of bungling and clerical disorder of the army's administration.

Means One Thing!
Now Is the Time for All of Us to Re-double Our Efforts to Bring World War II to a Close.
But the war is only half over. A powerful and cunning enemy is threatening our security in the west. He will use every device possible to defeat us.
Our boys are out there giving their lives for America. We at home can do our part by working at a defense job, eliminating absentism (Japan's 7th column), and by buying that extra War Bond. Let's Go America.
