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, n

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 tu leave when the front door hell 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 Gr gloves, and curried રી 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 refux- ing: because he was a vege- tarian.

When somebody asked him if he intended going to the ball,-he-made-the-nervous-yes- 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.

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 during 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.

A year later I saw lorries filled with the bodios of dend 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. Swent 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

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 'sen-" tences he hurled at us-we used them for fun times:
