Of all the comparisons with this man and the rise of the Third Reich,, of which there are an alarming amount, this is not one of them. Apparently Hitler was quite the host according to the memoirs of his personal secretary. All the evidence suggests that DM’s hospitality (excluding that towards his crim lawyers and TC), is somewhat different.
By the way, in the interests of historical accuracy, this footage is incorrectly labelled. It was NOT taken at the Wolf’s Lair which was located in East Prussia (now Poland). This was taken at his summer retreat, the Berghof, near the village of Berchtesgaden in Bavaria. And I also suspect it was taken several years before 1945.

WhiteStar – wow and wow. You painted a beautiful picture of what could be or could have been.

I’m sorry that its a little too late. You never know what the future holds though, once DM is long gone.

Sounds exactly like post apartheid South Africa. Our ANC supporting brethren feel that it’s our country’s leader’s rights to live opulent lifestyles on tax payer’s money because they are so “deserving”. Corruption is also ignored. Its acceptable in this society to just “help oneself” when it comes to government financed projects in which every person all the way down the food chain has his palm greased.

that’s funny:)

Great points, Aquamarine! the ones who truly earned it don’t have to flaunt it.

either that or he keeps smoking to make people wrong and self right, as in continuing to burn the toast to be right after burning it the first time. Davie, just face it, you’re toast.

Exactly!

Thank you.

Friends are far more important. To use kult-speak, not even the same order of magnitude.
