In November 1938 ‘Homes and Gardens’ Visited Hitler’s Home in the Bavarian Alps

On the evening of 10 November 1938 many people all over Britain would have sat down, taken a sip of their Bournevita, and with a comfortable sigh, opened their latest issue of Homes and Gardens. Meanwhile in Germany, seven months after the country had invaded Austria, Kristallnacht began – the Night of Broken Glass, when with sickening violence, the Nazis burnt over 1000 synagogues and destroyed 7,000 Jewish businesses throughout Germany and Austria. Ninety-one people were killed by the Stormtroopers and for the first time Jews were arrested on a massive scale and about 30,000 Jewish men were sent to the Buchenwald, Dachau, and Sachsenhausen concentration camps.

I found this via "Flashbak", a retro compendium. However, The International Campaign for Real History website seems more complete, with related links and a full text of the original magazine article.

And here in the lovely drawing room we see Heir Goering and Heir Hitler sipping a dry sherry while studying a map of the Volga Valley...

It is quite shocking to read how far the Brits went to appease Hitler in the 1930s. I guess they thought they’d be the last ones into the gas chambers, much like today’s liberals who hope the be last to lay their heads on the Jihadists’ chopping block.

David Irving is a British Holocaust denier, so it’s not like this sort of thing isn’t limited to the 30’s.

I wonder who will be around to write about the current media’s fawning over Islam.

Hitler was the darling of the left. He wanted to fundamentally transform Germany.

Pray America is waking

Stalin in the 1950s.
Castro in the 1960s through today.
The Palestinians from the 1950s through today.
The gushing continues.

Short take on the article:

"Hitler is a common man with simple taste and a wide variety of friends. He entertains local children and raises dogs. He delights in watching the burly field-marshall Goring work the bow and arrow. At his mountain home Hitler can laugh and take his ease while listening to local talent playing violin and cello pieces by Mozart and Brahms."

Doesn't sound like a mass-murderer to me.

Apparently, Europeans haven't learned from this horrifying episode of the past.

Apparently, North American "Liberals" haven't either.

At the bottom of the page with the text of this article the following note is posted © Focal Point 2003 write to "David Irving" (English Holocaust denier and author who has written several books on the military and his political history of World)

David Irving is a British Holocaust denier, so it’s not like this sort of thing isn’t limited to the 30’s.

A book I read last year ~ The Coming of the Third Reich, was written by a guy (Richard J Evans) who was a defense witness in the trial in which Irving foolishly tried to sue someone for libel for outing him as a holocaust denier. I may read the remaining books in Evans' trilogy, but it is hard to read in-depth books on such a horrid regime.

Interesting timing. If Freeper's do not mind, I will use this to pose a question:

I am planning a trip to Austria in September and will be in Salzburg, which is 25 miles from Berchtesgaden. I am considering going to the 'Eagles Nest'. Has any Freeper been there?

Wife is opposed to going to "Hitler's place". Comments appreciated.

Looking at those photos, I can only think “Those 101st Airborne guys will love the place.”
