The Mortal Storm Page #3

---

We've prided ourselves

on our tolerance

and our sense of humor.

Good heavens, here I am

making another speech!

Well, I can think of

may our happiness continue

as long as we live.

Sweet.

A toast! A toast!

To the health of our

distinguished host.

Prosit!

Thank you, my dear.

Professor, I hope

you'll excuse me

if I steal a little

of your spotlight,

but I have news.

News?

Mrs. Roth, Professor...

it's no good tucking

in my coat...

Freya has promised to

love, honor, and obey.

Engaged!

Oh! Really, please, I haven't

made up my mind yet.

I'll do that for you, Darling.

Fritz, you're crazy.

Put her in her place.

You have our consent.

Give in, Darling. I'll wait.

Father, what do you think?

That is a reasonable

length of time.

You know, you're rushing

me right off my feet.

Mother, what do you think? Shall

I let him get away with it?

Well, are you happy, Dear?

Yes, I think so.

Congratulations are in order.

Freya.

Congratulations!

Thank you, Rudi!

My boy! Professor.

Herr Professor and

Frau Professor...

something wonderful

has happened!

We have just heard... they

have made Adolf Hitler

chancellor of Germany!

Why, that's stupendous!

If it's true. Is it official?

It is true! It is official!

It's coming in on

all the stations!

Let's find out!

Let's get the radio.

Adolf Hitler chancellor.

And appointed by Hindenburg.

What can he be thinking of?

There it is.

The news swept the

capital like wildfire.

The delirious frenzy of the

people defies description!

Thousands of men and women are

gathered outside the chancellery.

They've waited here for

hours, hoping for a glimpse

of our great leader,

our new chancellor!

Wait... the door of the

chancellor's office is open!

And coming out, our leader!

He's addressed the people...

he's stepping out to the balcony!

Listen... listen the

voice of a proud people

acclaiming a man who will lead

them back to power and glory!

Well, he's done it!

Things will happen now.

What will happen now?

We'll see a new Germany.

I hope it's best for

all, this change.

Why, it means our country

will be strong and powerful

again, Frau Professor.

Master of Europe

and the world!

Fritz, I've never seen

you so enthusiastic.

Freya, this is

Germany's crying need...

a strong man in a saddle.

A leader who will

fight for victory!

Fritz is right.

You can't put Germany

back in her old place

without bayonets.

Hitler will only demand

what is ours by right.

Nations who want peace

have nothing to fear.

And if they want war, by

heaven, they'll get it!

But Fritz, now that this

man's come to power,

what about those who think

differently? Freely?

Those who are non-Aryan?
