I am aiming to mix fact and fiction together (hopefully seamlessly) to provide a best-selling novel, perhaps one of the authors could contact me privately to allow me to ask more questions and to gain a greater insight?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224001897030936501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-2960991572289805152013-04-11T11:38:06.343-04:002013-04-11T11:38:06.343-04:00OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-4841662672939902912013-04-11T11:36:53.016-04:002013-04-11T11:36:53.016-04:00kgnd'lnkb'wrlkndb 'lskgnd'lnkb'wrlkndb 'ls Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-15738169214917142652012-06-03T17:55:01.533-04:002012-06-03T17:55:01.533-04:00That's a good analysis.

Hitler was also concerned about a possible assassination attempt which is why he made a surprise visit at a very early morning hour.Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-87895451778234130372012-05-30T13:29:00.536-04:002012-05-30T13:29:00.536-04:00Why spend only three hours in Paris?

As he said on more than one occasion, Hitler, who was awarded the Iron Cross, a high military honor, for his service in WWI, regarded himself as the first soldier of the Third Reich. So in this sense it is not surprising that he would not want to be seen as idly sightseeing in Paris while Germany was still at war -- it would be in keeping with the role he saw himself playing. <br /><br />Also, for the same reason he lived a rather spartan lifestyle generally during the war, especially so while at his eastern front headquarters, which was where he spent the majority of his time after the attack on the Soviet Union -- it was basically a bunch of cramped concrete bunkers in the middle of a forest in Poland. In postwar writings many Germans who were there complained it was dank and mosquito ridden in the summer, and very cold in the winter. Overall a rather uncomfortable place to spend much time.<br /><br />The fotos of Hitler in what looks like a leather trenchcoat (which he often wore) were probably taken early in the day when it was perhaps still cool. Being June I'm sure it warmed up later, and all that leather was then probably rather heavy and uncomfortably warm.eahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-12638526156339388632012-04-11T16:24:03.769-04:002012-04-11T16:24:03.769-04:00I agree with Jeff regarding the coats, in particul...I agree with Jeff regarding the coats, in particular in the last photo - Hitler looks like he borrowed his from a dentist.

Reading further one gets the impression that he had seen what he wanted to see and in his mind was already visualizing the creation of a more grander Berlin, grander than Paris.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-68437609021868078092012-04-10T18:30:46.396-04:002012-04-10T18:30:46.396-04:00Evidently Speer and Brekker disliked each other.
