This engine for producing mass-emotion is very interesting indeed. And in nothing is it so interesting as in what it offers to the eye.

In my Ossington Street office I received a visit, a few weeks after the publication of my Hitler book, from the official representative of the Nazi party in London. Herr Thost was his name (pronounced toast). This was of course before Hitler became Reichskanzler: Herr Thost was the agent of a party, not a government. He did not come to make overtures of any sort, but merely to have a chat. Herr Thost liked the book. He said it was not at all bad for an Englishman. But he made one reservation. Now what I should have supposed his reservation might refer to was my tepid response to the call of nationhood, which I was at no pains to disguise.
