An Affable German Student
An Affable German Student.
We spent the early crisis days in Geneva, staying at the International House for Students—along with Germans, Hungarians, English and Americans. One student we met—not staying at the Maison Internationale—was a German economist who had been in U.S.A. and spoke English in perfect American. He also spoke French well. We had some very interesting talks with him about the Nazi system. We will call him Hermann. I have a feeling he may be a German spy. He had far more money than the average German is allowed to bring out of the Fatherland, but he was a good fellow. Strangely enough he belongs to Wesel where the camera incident happened and he promised to get our films returned.
