'Willi Von Merl came to Australia after the last war, married an Australian girl, and was happy. He wanted his brother Karl to be happy, and so sponsored him to this country as a New Australian. Then trouble came to his house, for how was he to know that his brother still retained the hate he had been brought up on, and that he would spread it in the family circle. Karl was a Nazi and remained one in Australia, pouring shattering thoughts into the mind of Willi’s wife. This mounting tension reached a peak, when an Australian doctor attended Karl’s wife in her confinement, and any mistake he made would be held against all British people in the eyes of Karl.'
