I know they have quite strict rules there and maybe it's an attempt not to inadvertently break them. <br /><br />Plain stupid though.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256244895723910890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-51414168437815165792010-04-04T23:57:18.272+00:002010-04-04T23:57:18.272+00:00AH had some classy cars for his rural gambols.

Quick - put on <i>The Sound of Music</i> before it's too late. <br /><br />Laura - yes, he was listening to Frau-line. <br /><br />Simoom - I've often thought about the whole time travel thing - could you kill a baby if you knew it would grow up into Hitler, Pol Pot or Stalin? In Hitler's case, I'd prefer to convince him that he was a great artist and buy lots of his paintings to keep him away from politics. But then the Second World War might have been delayed until after the atomic bomb was invented...<br /><br />As for censorship, the whole thing's a mess.

I think the German population of 1936 could be forgiven their innocent exuberance however, since they presumably did not know what an evil monster they were voting in at the time, and frankly that photo of the peasant glowering looked far more sinister. In fact Hitler even manages to look quite affable in some pictures.<br /><br />I particularly like that 'glamour' shot of HH on the telephone. Talking to one of those ever-available chatline girlies I wonder?<br /><br />If only he'd received more critical acclaim for his artwork, what a different course history might have taken.<br /><br />I am astonished that an internet user can seemingly pay to download child porn with alacrity but not buy a book published in Nazi Germany. Strikes me the internet censors have got their priorities somewhat wrong.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-88031992266602118672010-04-03T10:56:53.574+00:002010-04-03T10:56:53.574+00:00Lulu's comment made me laugh out loud!

NO, w...Ooh, he looks like a lovely, friendly chap. NO, wait...it's happening! I'm falling under his spell! I cannot be trusted to look at Nazi propaganda without succumbing to it, and you, sir, are responsible for any reprehensible actions I may take as a result.<br /><br />Of course, even my sarcasm is probably being traced and recorded to use against me at a later date. Ah, it's good to live in a democracy. I'd hate to live in one of those authoritarian regimes where freedom of speech and free sale of literature were banned...<br /><br />www.lampandbook.blogspot.comLuluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226948028302431042noreply@blogger.com
