Berlin being given passes.
Berlin may not be occupied by
English troops, but it certainly was
invaded by English civilians. In the
main streets, cafes. hotels and thea
ters, one met Englishmen and heard
English spoken. A number of Brit
ishers took the best rooms in the
Hotel Bristol for twelve shillings a
day. The happenings of those days
are almost unbelievable"
