| Description | Among those in U.S. who couldn't believe what was happening in Germany in 1933 was the radio commentator [Hans von] Kaltenborn; he came with wife and son to Berlin and called at Consulate; he thought reports of attacks on American citizens exaggerated; told him he wouldn't have to stay long to find out for himself; the day he was to leave he was on the street with his wife and son when a parade of S.A. and S.S. men passed along the street and people on the sidewalks stood and gave the Nazi salute; not wishing to give the salute, he and his wife and son turned their backs to the street and looked in a shop window; several S.A. men accosted him and one of them even knocked his son down; a couple of policemen were standing not ten feet away but paid no attention to his request for assistance; was sorry it happened to Kaltenborn, but since there was no real injury, perhaps it was a good thing; otherwise Kaltenborn would have gone home and told his radio audiences how incorrectly American officials and American correspondents were picturing Germany. | en_US |
