German Reservists Mobilize For Nationwide Maneuvers
Thousands of German reservists dressed in flag decorated uniforms report for nationwide maneuvers with the regular army as observers estimate half a million to four million men under arms. Hitler attends part of the first day at Jueterbog near Berlin, the vast reserve camp noted for officers.

Reports from Praha say Britain and France asked Berlin about the maneuvers and were assured they are not aggressive, easing Czech fears of intimidation in the Sudeten dispute.
