Info The Völkische Beobachter,the official daily newspaper of the NSDAP,reports that the Men`s Singles and Doubles Finals had to be postponed to Monday,August 9 due to technical problems.This phrasing is very probably an elegant description of an Allied Airraid which made the staging of the finals impossibe on Sunday.Kurt Gies and Engelbert Koch also won the National Doubles Championship .After this triumph Gies returned to his unit at the Eastern Front where a promotion to the rank of Leutnant and a premature death waited for him.
