This is the eighth of a series Of stories
on Hitler and Germany.
BY GEORGE BRITT
Times Special Writer.


THE countess butler clicked
il his heels. thrust one gloved
hand behind his back, bowed stiff
lv at the waist and passed a side
car. The countess herself, beau
tiful slim blond neurotic, was hav-
ing brandy and soda.
Americans don't understand
Hitler" she said. He is such a
wonderful man. In private life
he is almost shy; but he is so
magnetic, so brilliant, has such
power to move people and carry
them out of themselves! He is in
love with Frau Winifred Wagner
and she with him, but he's too
busy to marry yet.
The Jews? Well, let them go
back to Jerusalem or anywhere
they want to. They've done enough
harm here. They were taking ev-
erything. Yes, we had Jewish
doctor and a Jewish lawyer, but
now we have German Christians.
IF Hitler hadn't stepped IN ex-
actly when he did, everything
would have been finished. The
Communists would have had us.
I've got some things written down
here to tell you about. First OF
all. the brown shirts and the ar
belts camps. Have you heard
about them? Boys in the poorer
classes we're becoming Commun-
lists and getting into all sorts of
mischief, and Hitler started this
to keep them busy.
And the girls we're growing up
without any morals at all. There
was all this nudiSm. suppose
you have heard of it. Hitler right
away put a stop to that and to
cafes like the FL Dorado, horrible
places.
Every little girl in Germany
wanted a job and to make money,
and he is sending them home.
When you read about his order
ing women not to use powder and
lipstick, that means these little
snippy girls. He's right. What
business have they got to make
up? It's all right for women OF
the proper age.
THE countess, 1 think, deserves
Il to be quoted at such length
because she reflects SO completely
the conservative upper-claSS femi-
nine attitude toward Hitler.
One evening in Munich at the
little coffee house next to the
Volks theater, where all the wait
ers are ex-vaudevillianS, 1 listened
to the opinions of a girl university
student, member of the SUDDEN
tenbund, an enthusiastic Nazl
sympathizer. She sat with Ger
man lad just across the table from
me. Alertly she looked around
the room through the smoke Of
her cigaret, and pretty soon she
was talking.
Women were going too far"
she said. They were crowding
men out of the professions. Yes,
1 know there are 100000 more
women than men in Germany,
and they must support them
selves. But they can do womanly
work, such as teaching, nursing
and social service.
Il am studying history and 1
expect to teach. The new reStric-
tons on womans careers do not
arouse resentment in me. 1 ap-
prove And this drive to increase
the birth rate is not a desire to
produce soldiers. 1t is to raise the
percentage of pure Nordic ele-
mentS in our population"
You are such a good Nazi," 1
interrupted, Il should think you
wouldn't be smoking. Hasn't Hit
Ter sent out word that 'Deutsche
frauen raucht NIGHT"
She laughed and blushed. Then
she turned up the lapel on her
blouse and showed on the under
