Although Chancellor Hitler has successfully seized for himself the presidential prerogatives held by the late von Hindenburg, “it is the beginning of the end for the German Dictator,” Kurt Rosenfeld, former Prussian Minister of Justice, prophesied here. Rosenfeld, who is an exile from the land of his birth because of his hatred of Hitler, visited this city for a two-day speech tour.

“Hindenburg’s death has made Hitler stronger in name only,” he declared. “He may have another title, but the German army, the Reichswehr, which Hindenburg commanded, will never follow a corporal. The Dictator is only a puppet of Thyssen, Germany’s steel king, and Krupp, munitions maker.”
