Hitler as "Handsome Adolf"

Hitler was referred to as "hansome

Hitler", "Handome Adolf", or was

gushed over in the western media

due to how attractive they

thought he was before all of a

sudden they flipped the script and

he was depicted as ugly, wierd

looking, and the ultimate evil.

Hitler was seen as a Eugenic Rock

Star of sorts by the west and was

openly for a while as well. this has

been erased from the school

history books including the college

history books along with all

mention of the Eugenics

movement period. Hitler is

portrayed as a lone bad guy who

popped up out of nowhere and

was simply a wacko racist who was

too strong for us to defeat

because we were the good guys

and he played unfairly. It's all

bullshit. Anyway the follwing

articles I gathered and put

together from Time Magazine's

archives showing them drooling

over Hitler, calling him handsome.

GERMANY: Adorable

That RealmleaderHitler, still a bachelor at 45, now intends to beget instead of appoint his successor is

common report in Berlin.* Many a credulous Berliner has heard the story that Handsome Adolf said

recently to a male intimate: "I shall marry a German woman of the noblest blood. But whom? So many

are all around me with their hopes in their eyes."

Noble indeed is the owner of Neunkirchen's vast ironworks, Countess Sierstorpü. Said she on a visit to

London fortnight ago: "The women of the Saar adore Hitler; he is so sweet, so gentle, so kind! All true

German women adore him. I once took 60 women to meet him and they wept unashamedly in their

emotion. Three things make the Realmleader adorable to the German woman. First, his sublime kindness.

Second, his intense patriotism. Third, his standard of truthfulness and sincerity. Ach, you should see his

eyes! You should look into them. Truth and sincerity shine in those eyes!"

Asked if Realmleader Hitler is more attractive to German women today than Kaiser Wilhelm was at the

zenith of his youth and power. Countess Sierstorpü observed reflectively: 'Tf the answer is yes, and possibly

it is, the reason may be that Hitler is one of the people. How the German woman loves him ! "

* Obstinately and without explanation Herr Hitler continues to violate his own decree which provided that

he appoint a Vice Realmleader.

GERMANY: Next Best Thing

Next Best Thing Devoted Nazis are fond of telling with utmost seriousness about the great German

industrialist who found his daughter moping, tried to cheer her up by telling her she could have whatever

she wanted for her birthday. "Alas, father, rich as you are, you cannot get me the only thing I want." "And

what is that, daughter?" "Oh, if only I could have a child by Hitler!" With many a melting, impressionable

Gretchen now in this state of mind, "Handsome Adolf" Hitler was seated last week at the Olympic Aquatic

Stadium when a buxom female from Norwalk, Calif., one Mrs. Carla George de Vries, darted through the

supposedly impregnable barrier of the Dictator's black-jacketed S. S. Guards and thrust an autograph book

into his hands. Obligingly Herr Hitler signed. Suddenly the crowd of 18,000 gasped as Mrs. de Vries

appeared to grapple with the Realmleader once, twice, thrice, before she got her arms around his neck and

soundly kissed him. Neither grim old Feldmarschall August von Mackensen, who was sitting on Adolf

Hitler's right, nor Minister of Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick, who was on his left, moved a muscle to prevent

what, for all they knew, might have been an attack on the Realmleader. As apple-cheeked S. S. Guards,

with horror on their boyish Nazi faces, came bounding forward, the California Kisser blithely disengaged

herself, was permitted to run to her husband who had shot the whole sequence with his home cinema

camera. "Hitler," enthused Mrs. de Vries, "was ever so nice!"

GERMANY: Handsome Adolf

All epoch-making revolutionary events have been produced not by the written but by the spoken word!

Adolf Hitler

Not in Berlin, not even in Prussia, but in Saxony, in Leipzig sits the German Supreme Court: das

Reichsgericht. Justice is done beneath a mighty dome topped by a big bronze statue of Truth. Through tall

casement windows Saxon sunbeams glint upon carved oak. In such a setting presiding Judge Baumgarten

(except when fiddling with one of his ears) is a sight awesome as Olympian Jove. Boldly to face the justice

down, to use the Supreme Court dome as a demagog's thumping tub, to hurl from dem Reichsgericht a

defy which reverberated throughout Europe, such was the feat last week of Adolf Hitler, No. I Brown Shirt

Fascist (TIME, Aug. 25).

Ostensibly the proceedings were a trial for High Treason. Three young German army officers (Lieutenants

Richard Scheringer, Hans Ludin, Friedrich Wendt) were charged with inciting their men to join a Fascist

putsch should it be proclaimed. Without quite admitting their guilt the young officers waxed hotly

truculent. "I would obey an order to shoot down Communists," shouted Lieutenant Scheringer, "but I

would disobey a command to fire on men of my own persuasion!"

Exactly what was this "persuasion"? Evading damaging admissions, the Lieutenants said in effect that

their views are those of Brown Shirt Hitler, leader of the National Socialist [Fascist] party whose

sensational gains in the last election make it second strongest in Germany (TIME, Sept. 22). If such views

be treason, argued the defense, then make the most of it!

Smart, the defense determined to do exactly this, subpenaed Herr Hitler as a witness, got ready to offer him

the opportunity to use the witness stand as a soapbox.

Housewives & Blue Eyes. "Hitler Kommt!" cried 2,000 excited Saxons massed inside and outside the

supreme courthouse. Many were women—for thrifty German housewives particularly dislike paying

reparations, have swallowed eagerly the brash Fascist promises to repudiate the Young Plan. As Herr

Hitler's motorcar swirled up the women pelted him with flowers. As this medium sized man with a small

blond mustache but hard, blue, twinkling eyes stepped out, soprano voices cried "Ach, der schöne Adolf!"

(Ah, handsome Adolf!). But so vast, dim, labyrinthine is the supreme courthouse that Witness Hitler,

studiously quiet at first, stepped into the chamber and was actually on the stand before the courtroom

galleries saw him.

"Heads Shall Roll!" Asked if he were planning revolution, Herr Hitler answered composedly:

"Nein, we are merely preparing an intellectual eruption of the German people by peaceful means."

When this drew from the gallery a roar of "Germany Awake!" (Fascist slogan), Judge Baumgarten glared

at the assemblage, rumbled, "Silence, this is not a theatre!" but soon Herr Hitler in smashing demagog style

was carrying all before him.

"To us," he cried, "the old Imperial Germany was a state for which we were proud to fight—a state with

glorious traditions. The second Reich in which we now are living is predicated on democracy and pacifism.

We propose to make the third Reich one of healthy and glorious nationalism—a state for the people, and

shall put an end to the process of national disintegration. We shall accomplish this with legal and

constitutional means, and shall mold our state into that form which we deem necessary for it!"

Queried Judge Baumgarten: "What form?"

Hesitating not a second, Herr Hitler roared back:

"If our movement succeeds we shall erect a people's tribunal before which the November criminals of

1918* shall expiate their crime and I frankly predict you shall then see their heads rolling in the sand.

"We National Socialists [Fascists] refuse to recognize the treaties concluded over the heads of the German

people as of permanent duration and also propose to fight the War guilt lie! We shall seek to abrogate or

revise these by diplomatic negotiations, and I solemnly assert if these fail we shall proceed to ignore or

circumvent them, with legal means if possible; failing that, with illegal means. The world may call that

illegal, but I am answerable solely to the German people for my actions!"

"Blessed Be . . . Youth!" After such staggering words from the leader of Germany's No. 2 party (the

Socialists are No. I), French, German, British papers seethed. Viscount Rothermere, blatant "Hearst of

England," who would like to see a dictator (himself) in London, personally visited Munich (Hitler

bailiwick) last week, sent glowing cables to his Daily Mail:

"We must change our conception of Germany. Hitherto we have thought of her as a prisoner of war.

"The new Germany is rising before our eyes. She is strong today and she will be much stronger a few years

hence. She is determined now and she may before long be defiant.

"Under Herr Hitler's control, the youth of Germany will be effectively organized against the corruption of

Communism."

Hindenburg Dictatorship? In Berlin, tense with rumors of imaginary Fascist putsches which did not

materialize last week, stern old President Paul von Hindenburg and grimly determined Chancellor Heinrich

Briining considered what they should do.

If Herr Hitler had spoken as he did in the sanctum sanctorum of German justice at Leipzig, into what

inflammatory bombast might he not burst when the new Reichstag convenes on Oct. 16 next? Herren

Hindenburg and Briining know as well as anyone else that the German Republic was actually proclaimed

"not in written but in spoken words" from a window of the Reichstag by one Philipp Scheidemann,

Socialist deputy who had neither "right" to do so nor "reason" to expect success (except the shouts of the

mob). What has happened once can happen again.

The Prime Minister's anxiety was acute because he had not yet been able to obtain from the small "centre"

parties and the Socialist party (largest) any assurance that these would stand together in a coalition,

supporting either Herr Briining's or some other moderate cabinet against the Fascist Right and Communist

Left—two extremes quite capable of voting together to oust a government which pleased neither.

If he cannot obtain such support for himself or arrange it for some other "moderate," Prime Minister

Brüning, according to his closest friends last week, was agreed with Old Paul that they must "save the

nation from itself" by adjourning the new Reichstag (only just elected) and embarking on a high-handed

program of rule by "executive decree"—in other words Dictatorship, a procedure made quasi-legal by

article 48 of the German Constitution conferring on the President "extraordinary powers."

Unterbermsgrün. Just one actual clash occurred in the excited but lawabiding Reich last week. A number

of angry Communist sidewalkers with brickbats pitched upon 150 parading Fascists at Unterbermsgrun in

Bavaria, broke up the parade, injured 29 Fascists, four "critically," then went on about their business.

*The German Socialists and Social Democrats who in 1918 proclaimed the Republic, brought about Kaiser

Wilhelm's abdication.
