REMARKABLE STORY KNEW HERR HITLER

History Of The German Nazi Told In New London Book

A

REMARKABLE ACCOUNT OF THE RISE OF THE NAZI PARTY FROM ITS EARLY DAYS, AND VIVID FIRST-HAND PORTRAITS OF HITLER AND OTHER LEADING NAZIS, BEFORE AND AFTER THEY CAME TO POWER, ARE CONTAINED IN KURT G. W. LUDECKE'S “I KNEW HITLER" (JARROLDS, 105. 6), PUBLISH ED RECENTLY.

Ernst Roehm, Gregor Strasser, and many other
