Rathenau escapes with moderate injuries from a grenade blast outside his car. While Rathenau normally sent away his guard because he did not like having shadows spying on him and disturbing his guests[1] this time two were with him at the insistence of Chancellor Wirth and a plain clothes police officer guarding his villa was also present.
