Fritz Wiedemann had under him a brave but bedrag- gled private with a handlebar mous- tache. The private, Adolf Hitler admired his captain. Today Hitler gives the orders. One of his latest was to send his former commander to San Francisco as Consul General. Captain Weidemann's new assign- ment surprised diplomats who know how close he has been to Hitler as his personal adjutant. But Germany pooh-poohs suggestions that he may engage in propaganda work—the of- ficial explanatin is that he wants to go and that Hitler is rewarding him for past services. Those past services seemed to be leading to more than a consular post.
