& WAR NEWS FROM INSIDE GERMANY

      The two Nazis shown talking together on the cover represent

the home front and war front of Germany. One task

of diminutive Propaganda Minister Goebbels is to see that outsiders

get only the rosiest picture of life behind the lines. One

chore of dagger-swaggering Field Marshal Göring is to see that outsiders learn little about R. A. F. raids on the Reich.

A more accurate account of German life is now possible with

the return to the U. S. of 34-year-old William Shirer,

CBS broadcaster in Berlin. The first of his two articles on

wartime Germany begins on page 68.

& The famed Wintergarten in Berlin here puts on a show

for 1,500 wounded German soldiers, some still

bandaged, some with their nurses. The Wintergarten is a large vaudeville house, long on acrobats, seals, clowns

and various „novelty acts.“

& In final minutes of farewell dance the music gets hot

and the „cat“ shows through the khaki. Melancholy was reserved

for darkness and the day after.
