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 yenr before his beer-hall putsch, in January, 1922.

I had called on an elderly professor and hia 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 tu 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 gloves, and carried 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- tariun.

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-

to change everything-not one stone is to be left unchanged when the day comes-when the day comes" He stutter- ed, stopped, choked, tried to speak again, and stared round him. He had the face of a man waking up from a trance.

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.

A year later I saw lorries filled with the bodies of dead boys being rushed into the

cultured voice, in bad German with a 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 professor 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

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

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

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

"One day they shall kneel and thank me for what I did -now they kneel before some Jowish God-but I shall de- liver them. All the Jews have to be destroyed like ver- min-I shall destroy them. I shall destroy everything that is bad for Germany-I intend

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 bourse voice and what he said was approximately the same.

THE only difference was, that his audience now consisted of hillons of Gernians, commanded to listen to him und unable to cs- cape to have some fun, as we did, In 1922.
