This headline came as a surprise to me. I always figured that the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact was a complete shock to the rest of the world, considering the supposed enmity between Nazis and Communists. I never realized the issue was discussed in popular media this early.

Another article on this thread discusses the Pact of Steel.

The renewed contacts between Berlin and Moscow did not escape the watchful eyes of the French ambassador in the German capital. As early as May 7, four days after Litvinov's dismissal, M. Coulondre was informing the French Foreign Minister that, according to information given him by a close confidant of the Fuehrer, Germany was seeking an understanding with Russia which would result in, among other things, a fourth partition of Poland. Two days later the French ambassador got off another telegram to Paris telling of new rumors in Berlin "that Germany had made, or was going to make, to Russia proposals aimed at a partition of Poland."

History is fascinating. Not so much so, the repetition of it.

Prison Term for Fur Thief

James Isaacs, 89 years old, of Rosedale, Queens, the ex-convict leader of a trio of thieves, including a young wife who were believed to have defrauded many furriers in this city while posing as customers, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Allen in General Sessions to a term in Sing Sing of ten to twenty years. On April 10, last, Alfred Quinn, 80, received a smiliar term from Judge Allen, and the latter's wife, Margaret, 21, was sentenced to an indeterminate term in the Women's Reformatory at Bedford Hills. All had been convicted in the theft of a fur coat, valued at $2,600, from the R. & R. Furriers Corporation, at 6 West Fifthy-seventh Street, last Winter.

Is it too late to get a few things clarified in this story? (In particular, a few of the numbers.)

3's have been looking like 8's lately. I believe the ages of the perps named are 39 and 30, not 89 and 80. Even so, 20 years for heisting a fur coat seems pretty harsh in today's terms.

You must be right. If those 2 guys were in their 80’s I think it would have been mentioned in the title of the story. But they sure look like 8’s to me.

Don’t skip over the blurb about Unity Mitford. Like the rest of her family, she was a socialist, she just chose a slightly different flavor.

And, like an earlier girlfriend of Hitler, she shot herself in the head. She survived the war with German medical care (despite the horrors of the latter years of the war) but English medical care quickly finished her off after the war. (A bit of a parallel there to Patton, who survived under the care of the front line doctors, but who died shortly after the ‘experts’ from the states took over. )

British Girl Visits Hitler

MUNICH, Germany May 8 (AP).-Miss Unity Freeman-Mitford, British admirer of Chancellor Adolf Hitler, visited the Fuehrer at Obersalzberg over the week-end, it was learned today.

I thought this filler was interesting, but I didn't realize it had historical significance. Thanks for pointing it out.
