A central prime-degree step in a finite Galois p-extension

A nontrivial finite p-group has a central subgroup of order p. Its fixed field gives a smaller Galois p-extension of the base, with a cyclic prime-degree extension on top. This constructs the intermediate field needed for induction without imposing any cohomological hypotheses.
