The Enemy Within
“The SS driver turned the car south-west towards Büren. He switched the headlights on; two butter-yellow cones of light pushed into the dusk ahead of them.

The NSBer habitually spoke as if addressing a meeting, even wh...en speaking to only one person, in this case Obergruppenführer Hanns Albin Rauter, who was next to him on the back seat. Rauter regretted the necessity of bringing him along to meet Himmler. But Himmler himself had insisted on it.
