Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. It’s always interesting to see contemporary accounts of developments like this. Anyone interested in this particular period should read Wm.L. Shirer’s “Berlin Diary”. Sort of a chilling chronicle of the descent into disaster. Goes along very well with Speer’s “Inside the Third Reich”.

Now can someone explain to a casual observer what a “ping list” is? I never quite got that...

I haven't read that yet. I got the idea for this project when I read Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." It is an imposing looking volume, but turns out to be a real page-turner. The appeasement of Hitler in 1936-39 can still get one's blood boiling. And it seems all too similiar to the rhetoric of the anti-war left today.

A ping list is like a subscription. Whenever I post one of these real time + 70 years articles I will paste the saved list of interested parties into the address box.

I promise not to sell the ping list to any third party organization, commercial or otherwise.
