Lots of famous Americans were fascinated with Hilter before 9-1-39. JFK always had hardons for blond German/Austrian women, and J. Edgar Hoover had files to prove that he was too close to NAZI HONEY POTS; which is one of the reasons he was transferred to the Pacific Theatre.
On one of the History Channel shows, a historian made a comment I found interesting about Hitler. He said that if Hitler had been run over by a bus and killed a few weeks before the invasion of Poland, that he would be considered in glowing terms by modern history books as one of the best and most successful, if not THE best and most successful leader of the 20th century
Mmmmm. Austrian women... On a 13-country grand tour of Europe at age 24, I decided in the Vienna train station one night that Austria has the best looking women in Europe. Thirty-five years later I can still see her floating before my eyes. Blond, shoulder-length hair, tan complexion, dark eyes and eyebrows. Cute little nose. Perfect, trim bod. Perfect, long, tanned legs framed by khaki hiking shorts and boots. Oh where was she going? Where is she now? If I go back to Vienna will I see her again?
Thanks for throwing off my whole day!
