Hitler's fears of foreign inter vention are revealed In records compiled by functionaries of Reichsmnrshal Hermann Goer ing's air ministry, who took down every word as nazl con spirators maneuvered the sei zure of Austria over interna tional telephone lines. Their transcripts, labelled "secret ar chives," were tossed into a heap of rubbish in the air ministry courtyard when the red army swept into Berlin. First Account Two elderly Germans re trieved the records and loaded them into my jeep in return for two cigarettes. Translated and condensed, they give the first inside account of Germany's role in the Austrian seizure on March 12, 1938. This record discloses that Prince Philip of Hesse, now in allied custody, was the go-between In German and Italian ne gotiations. The prince was the husband of Princess Mafalda of Italy who died in an allied bombing of Buchenwald. Hesse phoned Hitler from Rome at 10:25 p. m., . Friday.

Chancellor Kurt Schusch nlgg's Austrian government had resigned after a two-hour ulti matum from Goering. Seyss Inquart had been instructed to seize power. Two hundred and forty thousand German troops had orders to cross the Austrian border at dawn. Conversation Hesse opened the conversa tion, saying: 'I have just come from the Palazzo Venezia.
