WARTIME GERMANY
SICKLY INDIFFERENCE OF PEOPLE •Tt is the sickly indifference of a people in a traumatic state which makes the picture of wartime Germany so depressing. Men with eyes blinded, ears deafened and mouths tightly shut pursue their tasks without initiative, hoping that others will solve their problems for them. Their spiritual energy seems fully spent in fearing and distrusting each other, in fearing and dodging police and party regulations. When the time bomb in the Munich beer cellar missed its intended victim, these same people sighed, half with regret, half with relief.” —Miss F. Seyd, in the “New York Times.”
