Finished the subtitled Russian edition of the forementioned film. Highly recommended for anyone interested in her career and her times.

Watched some interviews with Hanna Reitch, one of the best aircraft pilots ever to fly.

You Americans simply adore the Barking Monster...

Auction house Sanders in Los Angeles sold two signed copies of "Mein Kampf" for 40000 Euros. Last year similar copies had been sold for 64000 Euros.

What are these guys doing with that crap? Getting a moist crotch while looking at the signature? They can't read the books even if they understand German because it is written in Fraktur (German type / Gothic type).

Again, a broad-brush disparagement of Americans.

I could say 'you Germans simply adore negative stereotypes based on religion or nationality,' but that would be a very wrong thing to say. I'm sure the truth is some do, some don't.

I'm not sure why there is such magic in 'tokens of celebrity' for some people, but the phenomena is hardly unique to Americans.

Sir, it is time for you to notice emoticons and interprete them correctly instead of being huffy. Do I disparage Americans? So what I am doing here in this totally American forum? Posting 1365 times?????????????????????



You did not read my post carefully enough: I did not write "What are YOU guys..." but "What are THESE guys..." which should, togehter with the used smilies, clarify the actual attitude expressed in my first sentence!

For you, donquixote99, the modified post:

Some Americans simply adore The Barking Monster...

HK, I know you well be to a person of good-will, but that is, alas, never a guarantee against attitude. People are often inconsistent in their feelings!

I generally am of the opinion that text trumps emoticons, emoticons do not cancel text. You perhaps recall the old high school bully game--a guy hits another hard and painfully on the shoulder, then says 'sorry?' A can be sort of like the "sorry," so used.

But I fully accept you were not playing that game, and I jumped on you too hard. Sorry! (really! )

I'm concerned that the inestimably costly lessons of the period of German History from the Edwardian era thru 1960 will become lost without reexamination of the causes and effects of the occurances. The lessons include human nature as individuals and as groups and how influences drive motivation and behavior.
In many ways with what happened in Germany in the 1930s was a calculated preplanned seemingly miraculous recovery in the service of an unimaginably evil agenda, very effectively realized to a devastating end.
Anything that sparks interest in what happened, how, and why, including interest in the prophecies and effects of this pivotal document to avoid the repetition of this disastrous scenario will give this testament a better if unintended purpose and legacy.
