"Good Night, Adolf"

In the fourth war front, radio propaganda, anything goes. From France refugee Cinema Director Max Ophuls has been conducting a vicious, satirical aerial bombardment of Germany. Ophuls' barrage, according to Variety last week, is directed specifically for the Fuehrer's ears. Against a background of soft music and the monotonous ticking of a metronome, a voice drones:

"We know you suffer from insomnia, Mr. Chancellor. That is really too bad. You must surely know that one of the best and tried methods is to count. Do you want to try out a system with us?

"One, two, three countries assassinated . . . four, five, six, seven . . . continue Mr. Chancellor. . . . Count your victims in Austria, 100, 200 . . . those in Spain, Germany, 100,000, 200,000. Can't you sleep? Let's continue: Your victims in Czechoslovakia, 800,000 . . . 900,000 . . . and those in Poland, 1,000,000, 2,000,000, 3,000,000 . . . victims, Mr. Chancellor. You have certainly earned the right to sleep after that. . . . You must have a tranquil conscience. Sleep well and pleasant dreams. Good night, Adolf Hitler."
