See an earlier story on this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/987112/posts

I posted a few excerpts from the Feb 1937 National Geographic article about Nazi Germany. The article was sympathetic to say the least.

Thanks much.

I wish there'd be some convenient way to check to see if something's already been posted without wasting time only to be informed by helpful Freepers as yourself just that. Happens to me too many times.

Wow...looks like Adolf could've been the sixth spoke on Queer Eye.

Ah yes Schickelgruber, that was Alois name before he changed it to Hitler and passed it on to his bastard son Adolf.

How things never change, lest we forget that Hitler had a cozy little pact with Stalin and the left after that praised Hitler as well.

I don't see the scandal here. Hitler was good at interior decoration, give him that. Stalin, in contrast, killed ten times more people and had utterly no taste.

Oh, my, Yes! The Nazi art sensibilities were into those paintings of nude zaftig blonde Brunhildes prancing and lighting effervescently sans wardrobe in their alabaster altogethers proudly shown as a display of the supremacy of Aryan Woman. And the point was eloquently displayed...er, made. Brunhilde was always Wunderbar. And the titles were inspired by Nordic Mythos with glorious names like VALKYRIES STROLLING THROUGH ASGARD'S FORESTS.

The Communists, by comparison, with their emphasis on Socialist Realism, always had pictures of a muscular butch Russian woman who was 30 pounds overweight, grossly overdressed, in denim which only enhanced her already too masculine features, with hands clutching a monkey wrench or hammer while driving a tank. Usually with some awful title like SOVIET WOMEN LEAD THE WOMEN'S PROLETARIAN WORKERS AND FEMINIST INTERNATIONALE IN CARBON STEEL PIPE PRODUCTION.

Communism was awful!
