And when it comes to public speaking, the man had no equal.
Thank God.
TIDBITS:
We always think of Hitler as rather unattractive, when actually in his time he was said to be considered attractive to the ladies to whom he was also very charming and had an old fashioned German courtly way about him. He had piercing blue eyes. Hitler was very formal about who would go into the dining room for meals first (they would go in two by two) and with whom and where each person would sit.
Although a Vegetarian himself, he never tried to impose it on others for whom meat dishes would be served. Eva Braun, Hitler’s mistress, would serve as hostess with the mostest for these evening dinners in Hitler’s mountain home. Later often the group would watch movies, as Hitler liked them, and/or sit around the fireplace listening to Hitler pontificate. Hitler had trouble sleeping, a problem for his dinner guests who would be stuck there later into the night rather than get to go to their rooms or home to sleep.
Hitler had a favorite applecake that he loved and his cook would make it for him all the time. She would leave it on the kitchen counter for him, knowing he would sneak into the kitchen late at night to eat a piece or two.
