bar um let's go out on the deck and take a look at the Statue of Liberty no sir I want another drink I've seen the Statue of [Music] Liberty look as long as we're aboard this ship we have to assume that everything we say is being recorded that means at the bar at the table in our state room that ever occurred to you well yes sort of but in the state room too always you mean you don't mean day and night bug really if they didn't they'd be sloppy the Germans are not a sloppy people well then Mister keep your distance on this boat that's all I can say and I intend to spend the entire trip

gastro hop in this is Leslie Sloat [Music] on [Music] I don't need a driver anymore so it's all horses I don't have to hear about [Music] that [Music] here we [Music] are ay J AJ oh good you're back Aon this Byron Henry Columbia 38 is it yes sir welcome to Sienna well here's to Byron Henry notorious hater of the Italian remesal what did you hear this sir oh my old friend chano in Colombia he mentioned it in passing in a letter he wrote to me about you well I guess I have no choice but to drink what have you got against the Italian Renaissance Byron I suppose I just had too much of it started out fascinated and I ended up just snowed under and bored think it's the mixture of paganism and Christianity sort of sticks in my craw you ask what I had against the Italian Renaissance I told you now don't fold up on aspon other people have taken your position good name for it is uh protestantism Byron I understand your father is a naval officer yes sir he's in Washington in war plans War plans gracious is that as ominous as it sounds AJ every country draws up theoretical War plans in peace time tell me does your father think war is emminent he didn't mention it in his last letter Leslie is in the Foreign Service Barron which makes him an expert on these matters he thinks my uncle should go home we've had a running argument about that now for days of course he's going on to Warsaw well for what it's worth I think there's going to be a war you do I'd be interested to know why I just tour Germany everywhere you drive you pass army trucks full of troops and railroad cars loaded for Miles with artillery and tanks Byron with such displays Hitler won Austria in the sudent land and he never had to fire a shot Dr jastro when I was in Germany I saw signs on park benches and trolley cars about the Jews and I saw burnout synagogues yes well I'm surprised that you speak as calmly as you do about Hitler being Jewish I mean if Hitler wents out the Jews will simply fall back to the second class status they had for so long under the Kings and the popes and we survived 177 Centuries with that we have quite a store of wisdom and Doctrine for coping Aaron this Olympian attitude of yours completely exasperating me that you could rely on Adolf Hitler's Prudence for your safety and for Natalie's strikes me as grotesque I think Natalie's parents would agree with me Natalie can go home tomorrow if she wishes but I think perhaps she finds working here in Sienna as my secretary more more stimulating than Miami Beach oh I'm thinking of going home all right Leslie but not because of Hitler there a few things that bother me just a little bit more than Hitler at the moment look we are I dare say come on let's go upstairs here is where we do most of our work is quite a library oh a fair collection on early Christianity now Baron I understand you took a naval Reserve course and attained a commission is that where your interests lie no sir uh the commission was more to please my father I assumed that when Dr Milano suggested you visit he mentioned that I might have something for you yes he did my next work is called the arch of Constantine you do know who Constantine was the uh first Christian emperor of Rome I believe A+ bar I need some research on the emperor's Wars would uh $20 a week interest you well sir I've flunked more history courses I see

of operational planning for case white and report back Friday what assumptions have being made about the Soviet Union Stalin shot most of his first class General officers in The Purge I don't rise the Red Army very high it can field 300 divisions yes but will Stalin allow us to roll across Poland to his border unchecked I am not an optimist about that and what if their alliance with England goes through that is the real nightmare that is politics we have our orders and you have yours I will report back on Friday of course but I can give you my estimate now case white will be an allout twoof front war from the outset the fatal error of Kaiser Wilhelm the Kaiser was not a political genius this man is he will pull off another political Miracle good so we plan for a H we plan to smash Poland in two weeks and and hold in the west hold in the west with what we have that is the miracle we plan [Music] for all previous studies inadequate assumptions about Soviet Union in view of the proposed Anglo Soviet Alliance are highly hazardous we are going out on very thin [Music] ice come in Colonel far Ser the military an welcome Commander I'm Bill Forest pug Henry I'm right next door what's the drill here uniforms every day oh no no I just came from a review you suit up only for occasions here good such as this one you get to meet Hitler right off the bat just luck it's a big Crush for the

think of the furer not much like the image in the New York newspapers all halls and the tail oh not at all I understand you're an excellent tennis player Commander oh was that included in my dossier very little was not included perhaps we could have a game I'd like that oh F it's perfect you'll never believe it I know it was Dreadful to drag you out on your lunch hour but I was afraid somebody would snap it up it even has a tennis court but you don't think Hitler had anything to do with this do you well I mean do you think he really remembered it's such a to do business with Americans my brother has a real estate business in Chicago that is where I learned someday perhaps I will go back and on top of everything else there are five bedrooms upstairs and three marble baths and W to see the garden look is this the most beautiful drawing room you've ever seen look at the panel here here is the garden and behind the house there are tennis courts which I'll show you in a moment here now this way down there is the uh the lake the lovely little Lake can see who owns this lud rosenal a well-known sugar Merchant very large firm what's the catch what catch what do you mean but why is the price so low well there's this new ruling what ruling I'm not very clear about it something about uh Jewish people owning real estate well uh does this man know that you're showing me this house at this price oh naturally when can I meet him I have taken the Liberty to ask him to come out he should be here at any moment excuse me $78 a month it's ridiculous well that's what I thought it's a lovely house here Rosenthal said even BDI thank you we are fond of it my wife and I we have spent a lot of time and money on it the truth is Mrs Henry and I are uh feel a bit awkward about leasing but why you are very desirable tenants if a lower rent would help of course I would know the rent is incredibly low do you actually get the money of course with the agents commission deducted in certain Municipal fees I will receive every penny told me that some new ruling compels you to rent it I I I assure you Commander Henry that won't affect you as a tenant but just what is this new ruling well it's an emergency decree you understand I I am sure eventually it will be rescinded meanwhile this property can be sold at any time without my consent however if there is a tenant in Residence with a diplomatic immunity that cannot be done hence the modest rent may I ask you a question roant why don't you just sell out and leave Germany my family has a business more than 100 years old my wife and I are born binus [Music] this is [Music] home I have lived through other bad times I was shot through a lung in Belgium in 1914 man goes through a lot in his lifetime well Mrs Henry loves the house but uh we just uh hate to take advantage of someone else's Misfortune you'll be doing just the opposite you know that [Music] now I wish we hadn't taken it you do truly never really struck me before never seemed to really be happening [Music] that fine man imagine running out this beautiful home for pittens in order to keep it from being sold over his head to some fat Nazi no doubt lying in weight to pick it up cheap well do you want me to call it off he really wants us in you know oh I know he does that's what's so [Music] scary never going to be happy in this house more in this country it's such a barn I'll need a troop of servants oh we'll get them no problem they're all get stop with spies you know every last one of them oh pug we should been ordered to a battleship so do I honey so do [Music] I [Music] [Music] out [Music] [Music] Byron have I grown another head was I staring at you only for two weeks now maybe you remind me of somebody I know possibly your mother you writing another letter to SLO Byron Aaron needs those notes this afternoon do you suppose you could fit them into your busy schedule [Music] you like your job it's a job why seem like you're kind of wasting away here really my what a tragic fate tell you bar and you do peculiar things when you're in love but while you're doing this I really don't know me I'm [Music] broke [Music] you forward is from Florence [Music] another letter from [Music] SLO H my folks are in Germany now my father's a naal atache in [Music] Berlin what's slod got to say this time I'm going to [Music] Warsaw Aaron [Music] e [Music] do you mean to tell me that you've been in Sienna 9 years and never been to the Paleo I have never attended the race that is incredible it's nothing but a relic of the medieval burlesque races and sometimes they raised donkeys and Buffalos in Rome they raised Jews more moreover my friend the Archbishop tells me the Crowds Are So unruly you risk being jled or even trampled well then why the sudden interest well because Life Magazine wants me to write an article about it for a very substantial sum of money AJ Leslie writes that he wants me to come to Warsaw but that's not very consistent of him is it urging us to go home and inviting you to Warsaw When The War talk gets worse every day sure the the one who said there was nothing to worry about Natalie is it ladylike to pursue lesli SL Is it wise tactics that is my business Leslie is a very coldblooded customer I'm going a Jewish wife is not suitable these days to a diplomat's career it's as simple as that besides you'll be in Greece it's the perfect time I postponed my trip to Greece this poo thing gets in the way look I have an idea I haven't time to research the Paro and attend that silly race why don't you do all that and then you R draft an article and we'll split the fee how's that how much you'd receive $1,000 $1,000 say I could buy a wacking good truso for that a truso is that still in the Wind yes can I use Byron for the research I don't see why not all right and then I'll go to Warsaw in August after the second poo agreed if the war news doesn't get worse yes fine [Music] so is it all set what warsa oh that's postponed at at least until the end of [Music] August what are you grinning about huh who me [Music] Grinny wonderful pag good shot guess what Byron finally wrote us a letter yeah okay lots of good news dear set point Roa tough luck General take a couple more no no it's set the time for another unhappily not I must be going well play now you can read your letter Aaron G room he's the fellow that wrote that book the Jews Jesus oh yes you said you liked it didn't you yeah I read it twice well if Byron Henry is working it's the biggest news about him since you had it a this seems to be bigger news looks like he's interested in a girl what kind of girl Italian no a New York girl it's that author's niece her name's Natalie Natalie jastra right there this thing is kind of far along I think maybe all right him what do you think you're going to say doesn't make any difference to me that she's Jewish although that might raise serious questions about the children's Faith children pug he doesn't say a word about marrying her it's the way he writes about her look if she's Aaron jro's niece she's probably top drawer and Brilliant the point is what Chan has a marriage like that got to work nowadays at least I want Byron to think that comes hard to [Music] Byron [Music] [Music] another letter from your folks in Berlin yeah what's so funny I guess you just have to know my father oh seems you got the wrong impression from my last letter you don't say about what nothing you'd be interested in well it's too bad there isn't a chance good news my friend the artificial was aranged seats for us behind the judges stand the second paleo well I thought you weren't going to attend yeah this makes it much more attractive so book my airplane tickets a week later Greece the August 23rd I think H wonderful that's when I'll fly to Warsaw what follows gets into prognostication so may be judged frivolous or journalistic however to this Observer all the evidence indicates that Adolf Hitler at this time is negotiating a military alliance with the Soviet Union Henry do you really intend to send this stuff to the Office of Naval intelligence that's the way I see it sir my job here is reporting on Germany's combat Readiness and political Trends Henry anti-communism is the life blood of Hitler's Politics the German people's fear of the Bolsheviks put him in power and keeps him there you know when grub took me to that submarine base I saw some very interesting things when I left there it was quiet as a graveyard no night shift I don't think Hitler's people are behind him for full mobilization and the way I see their industrial picture they can't get enter Poland without first nullifying the Soviet Union well all I can say is if I send in this report I'll be laughed out of the Foreign Service and I don't think it'll do your career much good either well I wouldn't want to look like a damn fool good I leave the global masterminding to The Men Who were paid for it now there's your report yes sir Unthinkable why isn't it militarily sound militarily militarily militarily a with the United States would be equally sour ah but Poland doesn't lie between Germany and the United States it would be a political Miracle well isn't that your fous specialty sheer fantasy Commander crude melodrama if you say so I'm afraid you do not understand European politics is Germany prepared to fight an allout War war on two fronts number one war is not inevitable number two two fronts are also not inevitable well Victor let's hope I'm better on a horse than on the tennis court [Applause] huh [Applause] [Music] with case white the invasion of Poland only 20 days away musolini sends his son-in-law count gallato chiano the Italian foreign minister to Hitler's Mountain Retreat charming and Urbane with the ability to speak fluent German chano has been charged with a mission of relaying to Hitler he DUI's decision not to enter into any armed conflict over Poland despite the vaed pack of Steel between their two countries [Music] H Hitler discloses the plans for case white Toano he must attack by September 1st because the Autumn rains start October 15 15 he needs 6 weeks two weeks to smash Poland two to four weeks for [Music] MAA Gio warns Hitler that Italy is unprepared for war he explains that The Pact of Steel was signed in anticipation of war in 1942 not 1939 he proposes another Munich style conference maybe the West will give in again without a fight and Mos m for Fore Unthinkable why your Char is exactly right read my captain I did you haven't rasped it he said himself somewhere that a fact with Russia would be the end of Germany I did a little ungentlemanly spying of Grub's Flagship I saw some operational figures he'd like me to think that he has 70 submarines operational I doubt that he has 50 well so it's just part of the general German unpreparedness I doubt that Hitler can go to bat if there's a risk that Stalin will come in against him just so and we've got an alliance with started practically owned up so Hitler's Sid so no war so why hasn't this Alliance been announced well what do you think Pamela I think if that report will jeopardize your career and make you unhappy then by all means tear it up that's hardly the point is it as far as I'm concerned it is picked up don't send that report if you do you'll make a complete ass of yourself [Applause] [Music] come in come here Commander when are you leaving I ready to seal the PCH now Commander I leave for temple Hoff 10 [Music] minutes hold the P open for me what you going to wait outside yes [Music] [Music] telephone orders from K at Supreme fur headquarters battleships and submarines proceed to war station dispatch telegrams to commence Army mobilization move Army Headquarters with sus transfer operations did General Thomas present the arm is warning memorandum to kitle read it to him and his response this response Brit to decadent France to degenerate America to uninterested to fight for Poland and the Soviet Union what is his opinion of the Soviet Union issues yours [Music] immediately [Music] for [Music] me wow the Archbishop is proud couldn't have better [Applause] [Music] [Applause] seats [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] to [Music] all [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] see [Applause] any [Applause] [Applause] round [Applause] [Applause] [Music] d need [Music] [Applause] the can a riderless horse win you're asking [Applause] me yes indeed just [Applause] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] by [Music] [Applause]

guy probably sold out to another [Applause] Parish [Applause] of it natally this article will write itself now what these CES have evolved there a grotesque little parody of European nationalism the Paleo is war This Is War let's get out of here [Applause] now [Applause] [Music] [Music] no way [Applause] no [Applause] on this these are barely on the ground just keep walking hang on to him Byron hold on follow along with him we'll get out of here the next time we come to another side [Applause] street [Music] [Applause] oh what is [Music] [Applause] that where's Aaron [Music] [Applause] go [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you okay sir glass is a bit shattered that was quite a commotion close call there wasn't it these people their minds a war spare civilians be insane in forra Penny in forra pound I find all this quite exhilarating so let's go better hang on to me a little more tightly byon a little deric there for a moment [Music] there are snags in the Nazi Soviet deal the Russians are getting tougher and are in no hurry to proceed valuable time passes telegrams fly back and forth ribbon Trope has offered to fly to Moscow with full powers to conclude a PCT Weighing on Hitler's mind is the knowledge that the British and French military envoys are in Russia still negotiating finally he comes to an unprecedented decision he will humble himself situ and write a personal letter of appeal to his great enemy Stalin something has to be done about it before it is too late the tension between Germany and Poland has become intolerable crisis may arise any day I therefore propose that you receive my foreign minister on Tuesday August 22nd but at the latest August 23rd I should be glad to receive your early answer firon have you ever been to Warsaw no why would you like to come there with me what would be the point thing is Aaron's getting Difficult about my trip am I going to make a difference yes don't you know what he calls you now my golden lad you can't get over what you did at the Poo oh you exaggerate that no you showed striking presence of mind I was very impressed and so was Aaron I mean that horse might very well have killed him what about your friend SLO don't you think he'd take a dim view of me showing up there with you I'll have a little slow all right what was Aaron away in Greece I couldn't imagine a more dismal place in this why not Natalie terrific we have a wonderful time I promise you Byron I cannot tell you what a load you have taken off my mind this headstrong girl doesn't realize how Wild wild and backward Poland is the political situation is deteriorating by the day talk as though I was some kind of idiot you are a girl you have quite a lot of trouble remembering that however my mind is much more at ease you're a very capable young man Baron let's have a bottle of champagne on it champagne Maria see so you and Natalie are up to Wars I hope you'll manage to see my cousin barl I haven't seen him

on your prence Victor turn out to be right after all the question is what did he have to give [Music] Stalin [Music] looks like we could be walking right into the middle of a war look I realized for you this is no longer a gay Excursion so I'll just go on by myself Natalie I don't think you understand Hitler made this alliance with Stalin give him a free hands to can invade Poland Fon you heard what Aaron said Hitler hasn't used his army yet and he's not going to now I'd suggest you call SLO maybe he'll tell you not to come that's Insanity I'll never get a call through the Warsaw today
