Germany then proceeded with the “reply”, but instead of using paper, she used the European landmass to write it in.

One thing that sunk in with today’s story, and I recall the same thing several days ago: When it comes to foreign policy issues, Herman Goering is the one that shows up to participate. Rudolph Hess hasn’t been mentioned. It appears, even at this early date, that he’s been marginalized, and the Goering is the functional number 2 in the Reich. Sheds a slightly different light on his later trip to England. He may have been suspected of having leanings toward England even pre-war.

I’ve probably mentioned Homer_J_Simpson’s excellent series of posts/ping list from the NY Times before, but since we’re 2 days short of 70 years, it seems like a good time to mention it again.

Another 3 row headline starting with Hitler. He was getting pretty famous. I love the old format besides those annoying headlines. I guess those were for those walking by the news stands, it called out to them...

I’m sure it was what the news boys were calling out too
