Nazi Move Against Memel Expected
Memel -- Troops marching into the city of Memel, during its occupation by Lithuania in 1922. This scene may soon be seen again with German troops effecting the occupation. Well-informed foreign observers indicated, Mar. 20, that they expect Adolf Hitler is planning the reunion of Memel with Greater Germany. It is said that Memel was one of the chief topics of discussion at a recent conference of Adolf Hitler with trusted aides. (EDS: PLS watch (?) News)
