"Hynkel Party take power. Meanwhile the Jewish soldier, ex-fighter and veteran of the World War, suffered a lost of memory and remained and inmate of the soldiers' hospital for many years. He was ignorant of the profound change that had come over Tomainia. Hynkel, the dictator, ruled the nation with an iron fist. Under the new emblem of the double cross, liberty was banished, free speech was suppressed and only the voice of Hynkel was heard."
