When I think of Lindbergh he usually appears in my mind as Jimmy Stewart, from the biopic I have seen so many times. So I have tended to give him the benefit of the doubt as a sincere but misguided seeker of peace in his relations with the Nazis. That attitude becomes more difficult to sustain when I read this story in the context of the events we have covered over the last month and going back to March.
Celebrities, doing the work we “little people” won’t!
Actually when putting Jimmy Stewart into the frame of reference they were on opposite poles entirely. The only similarity was that they both were fliers.
Lindberg was an apologist for the Nazi’s and just wholesale appeasment/isolationist oriented.
Stewart was an honorable bomber pilot who took the fight to Charlie’s buddies over there in the Thrid Reich.
