ated" house; the former home of "Strength Through Joy" Dr.
Ley.
Still later, we attended a concert in the auditorium of the Har-
nack House a conglomeration of state opera and vaudeville
conducted in German but given for American officers. The talent
was good. At the end of the program, the combined chorus sang
with gusto what the Master of Ceremonies called a new composi.
tion-"Berlin Will Rise Again." The theme was that again will

Strasse, etc. Many of the American officers left in disgust. Paren-
thetically speaking, Berlin may rise again but it's going to be a late
rising, for they arv a beaten nation and fully realize it.
Take-off for Munich
Suilda y, August 12
Departed early for Templehof Airfield. Took off for Frank-
furt-an-Main, where we arrived at 9:45 a.m. Capt. Mullikin, a
former associate, met and motored us from Frankfurt to Bad
Nauheim. Lunch at the hotel of Dr. Groudel (famous heart
specialist) .
The shops were all closed-no merchandise.
Bad Nauheim is a gorgeous spot. This famous watering resort
was used as a hospital center for the German air force during

housed Radio Frankfurt, and destroyed the radio station.
This place is going to be used as the headquarters for the
American Army to write the history of the war. You can imagine
no lovelier spot to be billeted for such a job.
After lunch we returned to Frankfurt and took off at 4 p.m.
Arriving at Munich 6 p.m., we were met at the airfield by an
officer who motored us to Bad Weisse-a village in the Bavarian
