For example, two years ago this Christmas, the owner of one of the most famous restaurants in Berlin, who'd been catering to foreigners and foreign (correspondents at the request of the propaganda ministry, was suddenly arrested by the Gestapo and sat in Alexander Plate jail for six weeks. He came out with a black beard, a clean record and a long face.

But these are all voices in the wilderness, snuffed out by the all-powerful Gestapo and the Nazi blackout.

Up to now the sneak, the snitch-er and the double-crosser with something to gain to say nothing of jealousies and quarrels have been more or less the volunteer pipe lines leading the Gestapo into the bedroom or the, hidden spot. From now onk in line with Heyd-drich's announcement, it is clear that squealing and denouncing have joined the ranks of moral obligation and duty to the Fatherland, whether you like it or not.

A few 'days before I left Berlin they picked up a one-time well-to-do German who used to throw money around the racetracks. He still has plenty of it, but, on the other hand he hangs around with crowds they don't like, such as Americans. They charged him at first with espionage and failing to prove anything there, said he was always talking out of turn. The pretext they used to come and take him, as lt turned out, was a sworn, statement that and no more.
