It wasnt easy to get the full-page Dodge Luxury Liner ad transferred to 81/2 X 11 images, but it is information our readers need so we tackled the job.

I wonder if the new Obama Automobile Company will produce a vehicle available with the “Scotch-Dynamite” engine.

NEW TIE TO REICH TROUBLES ITALIANS
I was trying to figure out why the Italians would care.

Cianos diary for
May 22 is full of titbits about Hitler and his weird entourage. Frau Goebbels complained that the Fuehrer kept his friends up all night and exclaimed, It is always Hitler who talks! He repeats himself and bores his guests. Ciano also heard hints of the Fuehrers tender feelings for a beautiful girl. She is twenty years old, with beautiful quiet eyes, regular features and a magnificent body. Her name is Sigrid von Lappus. They see each other frequently and intimately. (
The Ciano Diaries, p. 85.) Ciano, a great man with the ladies himself, was obviously intrigued. Apparently he had not yet heard of Eva Braun, Hitlers mistress, who was rarely permitted at this time to come to Berlin.
William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
The efforts of the Western Powers to produce a defensive alignment against Germany were well matched by the other side. Conversations between Ribbentrop and Ciano at Como at the beginning of May came to formal and public fruition in the so-called Pact of Steel, signed by the two Foreign Ministers in Berlin on May 22. This was the challenging answer to the flimsy British network of guarantees in Eastern Europe. Ciano in his diary records a conversation with Hitler at the time of the signature of this alliance.
Hitler states that he is well satisfied with the Pact, and confirms the fact that Mediterranean policy will be directed by Italy. He takes an interest in Albania, and is enthusiastic about our programme for making of Albania a stronghold which will inexorably dominate the Balkans.

Reich is a pimp. He could never have outthought Sonny. But it wasn’t until tonight I realized it was Minetta all along.

Hard finding the ad. I’m finding it hard to find a dealer. I’ll buy his entire inventory at that price.

Her name is Sigrid von Lappus. ... Apparently he had not yet heard of Eva Braun,At this point, Unity Mitford would have still been on the scene, as well. So I wouldn't discount Sigrid completely.

“Basically one may feel sure that the government is doing what it considers to be best for the nation and the Italian people. Sentimental reasons, so apt to sway the many in the street, must be disregarded by statesmen.”
At least they were honest about it back then................

"It wasnt easy to get the full-page Dodge Luxury Liner ad transferred to 81/2 X 11 images, but it is information our readers need so we tackled the job." Did Americans used to make our own cars?
And were they private companies back in those days?
Who woulda thunk it. Amazing how times change... ;-)
