ELIZABETH CASTONIER

a Danish woman author, tells a strange story of the hysterical, hypnotic, demagogic Hitler of the period before he became Chan- cellor of Germany and aspirant to.

the title of "World Conqueror"

MET Hitler once person- ally, in Munich, a year before his beer-hall putsch, in January; 1922.

I had called on an elderly professor and his kindly Bavarian wife, to show them my costume for one of the fancy dress balls which were culminating points in Munich's Carnival weeks.

We were just about to leave when the front door bell was frantically rung.

The professor opened the door and returned with a young boy of about 18, in shabby clothes, and another man who wore a dirty mackin- tosh, riding-boots, but no hat or gloves, and carried a crocodile riding-whip..

Hitler was introduced to us -but he did not seem to notice that we were all dress- ed up and ready to go.

*

HE bowed hastily, without

looking at anybody. His glance was unsteady and flickering. He was extremely pale and fidgety. His hands twitched and he wriggled his feet round his chair's legs,

Politely we sat down, post- poning reluctantly our depar ture for the great ball. The professor's wife offered drinks. He emphatically refused al- cohol and, asked for a glass of milk. But there was none. When he was offered some Bavarian sausages he had the same grand gesture of refus- __ing:_because_he_was_a_vege-

tarian.

When somebody asked him if he intended going to the ball, he made the nervous ges- ture of the hand.

With a stern, pale face, clutching his riding-whip, he began to yell, and went on without break for more than an hour. And we sat, all dressed up and ready for fun, not daring to take leave- listening to incoherent sen- tences uttered in a hoarse, un-

BUT our patience was ex-

hausted. We left, hurried- ly, leaving the old professor, his wife and, the boy listen- ing fervently to sentences that set a world on fire 17 years later,

cultured voice, in bad German with & strong Austrian- border accent.

He seemed to be in a Der- vish-like ecstasy. Sweat was streaming from his face, foam was round his mouth; his whole body was trembling.

Suddenly relief came to our boredom-he jumped up from his chair and brandished his riding-whip over his head: Two chandeliers' came crash- ing down, covering his hair and shoulders with glass splin- .ters.

He did not seem to notice it and the strange thing was that not even the profcasor and his wife or the young boy saw or heard what had happened. Because they only saw, and heard the speaker.

I remember a few sen- tences he hurled at us-we used them for fun some- times:

"One day they shall kneel and thank ine for what I did

"Mr Hitler is a hard-work-now they kneel. before some ing man, you know," said the professor to start some sort of conversation,

These few words, were a signal for Hitler to begin speaking.

And again, some years later, 1 saw respectable middle-aged, middle-class wo- men kneeling down before this strangely pale and fidgety man, clasping his riding-boots in adoration and murmuring: "My Leader I"

I saw him rising and noticed that apart from being better clothed he remained unchanged.

He always had the same inhibited way of not knowing what to do with his hands and of putting his feet inward or wriggling them round chair legs. He had the same hourse voice and what he said was approximately the same.

The events of November, 1923, had only been a small-scale re- hearsal of what was to come later -years of horror, persécution and Intolerance. And the victims of the first putsch--officially, they were only 10 boys-were in fact the first vletims of the war. that began in 1930.
