Somewhere, years ago, I read a complete listing of several different peace feelers from both sides, over the whole course of the war -- the first from Stalin being about this time.
It was said to be "brushed aside" by Hitler.

Naturally, I can't find it now, and googling up data on the subject produces a lot of doubt that any of these stories are true.

But what's most curious is that no report I've ever read even mentions the alleged peace feelers reported in "today's" New York Times.

First draft of history?
How about first draft of comedy?

Today the peace feelers would be published by the Times to embarrass a Republican President, but if offered by 0bama the Times would bury the story to protect him.

Back then, long before the information revolution, there would have naturally have been all sorts of rumors and speculation. However, reporters had a keen nose for BS because some of them actually did their jobs as journalists. So none made it into print for lack of corroboration.

First draft of comedy may be more exact. Like I said, any peace feelers by Hitler, if real, are likely farce anyway. This is the same guy who sat in the bunker as the world collapse around him still hanging on to the concept the victory could still be had....at least until he married Eva and gave up all hope as men are prone to do. He did at that point at least prove to the world that he was the worst planner of honeymoon events in the history of man.
