PRESS:

The Underground Railroad:

The Grand Vizier of Turkey appeared in Berlin today with his harem and staff of
10. He recounted his story to the amazed press here.

"The fall of the last Turkish army was imminent, so we contacted our allies in
Germany to ask for asylum. We travelled day and night, it was a blur. We took a
midnight train from Sevastopol to Moscow. From Moscow we went to Warsaw. The
area was in turmoil with the Austrians leaving and Germans arriving. From
Warsaw to Prussia and finally Berlin. We slept with pigs, cows and dogs. The
Austrian artillery was everywhere! But we are safe now, safe from the marauding
Austrian pig-dogs (schweinhund). All praise Allah!"

General von Bluchker welcomed his long-time ally with a beer, and some hashish.
The Grand Vizier has received spacious quarters in the best part of Berlin.
Some of the harem girls have moved out of the Grand Vizier's quarters and have
moved into the General's castle. All of the girls were blonde, it was noticed.

-------------

Munich: General von Bluchker was present as the glorious German forces
re-captured the southern capital of Munich. "Onward! Ve shall capture the final
blonde nation! The Austrian schwein must die! But save all ze women, ve have a
place for zhem."
