A Galician Jew who served in the same company with Adolf Hitler during the War, and who saved Hitler’s life, has received a thousand marks from the Nazi Chancellor and an invitation to visit Berlin, Warsaw papers, received here yesterday, assert.
Tho former Jewish soldier recognized Hitler’s pictures and wrote him, recalling the incident. The gift and invitation followed. The German consul is quoted as declaring he has instructions to issue the necessary visa.
Hitler’s former companion is in a quandary. He would like to ask the Chancellor to end Jewish persecutions, but his friends warn him not to go to Berlin, lest the Nazis do away with him in order to remove a possible source of embarrassment to their chief.
