“Hitler eclaims Eupen-Malmedy”... There’s a name that’ll turn up down the road. At least the last part of it...

One of the most interesting, and often deflating, things about reading these reports is to notice the small signs that the culture has changed dramatically:

1. It is hard to imagine a British prime minister use a phrase today such as "all that Britain is and all that Britain means." That would probably damage him politically.

2. Celebrating "I Am An American" Day for young Americans coming of age and for newly naturalized citizens is now unthinkable.

Here's this weeks issue of LIFE. Some pretty good stuff in here including an article on Weygand which is what we were talking about in the first place.
