Later on, after that par-

participant there seemed to
feel an odd sensation of hav-

God writing across the sun-
filled sky of a fabled Bava-

by power, but by my spirit
sayeth the Lord of Hosts"
(Zecharia 4:6).

At another time, Adolph
Hitler had used this par-
ticular S.S. kaserne for his
top secret conferences . dur-
ing the annual party rallies
staged in the city. When the
Fuehrer would begin his
harangues not a single offi-
cer of flag rank dared utter a
sound lest he upset the
modern-day Attila the Hun.
Hitler was so vain and
self-conscious about his
speeches that he ordered
the S.S. to re-direct the
Strassenbahn (streetcar)
which ran outside the
kaserne walls into a spe-
cially constructed
underpass so as to
minimize any noise from
the train wheels.
Since the S.S. were the
"project officers," the work
of, course was completed
strictly through the use of
slave labor. The tracks into
the tunnel alongside Mer-
rill Barracks stand even to-
day.
Thus did- it come to pass
not too long ago that the
devil incarnate most cer-
tainly did turn over in his
accursed grave. For as mat-
ters turned out, a group of
some 25 American Chris-
tian chaplains held their
monthly training confer-
ence here amidst the ornate
marble halls of the main
building in Merrill Bar -
racks.
And whb should address
them from the very same
dais once used by the
Fuehrer but one of those
"lowly Jews, a representa-
tive of that inferior race of
sub-hiimans," whom he had
tried to exterminate. And
on what topic did this Army
rabbi choose to speak but on
the Jewish roots of Furth
and Nuremberg over the
centuries.
He spoke of the great
printing presses of the
above mentioned city
which turned out
thousands of volumes of
Talmud, Midrash and
Humash for use all over
Europe. He lectured
