It's very easy to have 20-20 hindsight when looking back at Germany in the 1930s, but not so easy when the bands are playing and suddenly there's a new emphasis on the Great Outdoors and making a fresh start after the humiliation and economic horror of the 1920s. I'm quite sure that good man the late Professor Walter Felscher was as liberal as you or I -- but go to our archives at http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/memories.html and read his reflections on Hitler Jugend indoctrination and the optimism of the pre-war years. And isn't there an upsurge of nationalism now in the US? Who can say with certainty _now_ what the long-term effects of our involvement in Iran/Afghanistan/Iraq are likely to be? ======================= Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk tom@holloways.org <== Personal email http://timewitnesses.org 01926-771772 ------------------------ Yahoo!
