In the shadow of the great Cologne cathedral march the German troops as the invasion of the demilitarized zone begins. Men and guns pour in. For the first time in 17 years, the city's streets resound to the goosestep. Young and old hail them, with never a thought as to the possible result of Hitler's bold stroke. Joy everywhere. How easily the horrors of war are forgotten in the ecstasy of the moment. Koblenz-on-the-Rhine, once occupied by Uncle Sam's troops. Now, Nazi sentries stand guard. |
