Hitler did not drink very much.

But you don’t need to drink to understand the value of quality wine and liqueur. Hitler understood money.

Remember the movie Schindler’s list? At the end of the movie as Schindler was releasing his workers, he supplied them with an ample supply of vodka. He knew they (the Jews) wouldn’t drink it. But he also knew they could use it as currency especially when dealing with the Russians.

Very true. I have a few hundred mini-bottles of various types of booze. In the case of a need for trade, I figure those will actually be easier to move than gold!

Mr. Hilter (Python take) knew the value of good spirits. It was powerful currency.
