Eva Braun stuns, fascinates at Berlin Olympics

BERLIN, GERMANY - Eva Braun's charm and beauty stand out in the Berlin games. Everywhere she goes, she is attended by mobs of admiring and curious reporters. Photographers jostle against each other, eager to get a shot of Eva's sphinx like smile or get a picture that does justice to her cleverly subdued use of makeup or simple yet sophisticated hair style.

Normally, Eva lives her life in Hitler's shadow, but today she stands out as Germany's perfect emissary of peace for our time and hope for the future. "She shows Hitler's softer side," said one reporter. "People may be too focused on Hitler's bold speeches, or his military buildup violating the controversial Treaty of Versailles, but Eva shows us he's warm and very human, too."

In stark and disappointing contrast was the American delegation with its overbearing patriotism and "win at all costs" attitude that does so much to cheapen the Olympic spirit.

Other delegations, in fact, all of them, had the respect and common courtesy to lower their flags before Hitler in the opening ceremony. Only America in its awkward obsession with honoring the flag refused to respect Hitler in the accustomed way.

"It's frankly an aggressive and disturbing 'in your face' display of nationalism on our part," said Harvard professor, Walter Guntz, a specialist in German affairs. "This was a completely blown opportunity for world peace. The rudeness shown to Hitler, their host, is a serious affront to German pride, and I'm sorry, having the American athletes remove their hats just isn't the same thing. With the possibility of escalating tensions in Europe, this is the last thing we need. Thankfully, Britain may vote for a sensible prime minister who just might find a way to avoid plunging us into another world war," Guntz said.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the US delegation includes at least one Negro athlete, the track and field star Jesse Owens.

"Roosevelt could not have delivered a more calculated insult at a time when diplomacy is most needed," said another reporter who has been covering Germany's astonishing economic recovery. "Germany is very sensitive about their self-image right now having been humiliated in the Great War. While Hitler is trying to instill some pride into the German people, our president sends this colored athlete who happens to be very good. If he wins, it will do extensive damage to Germany's prestige, and could set diplomacy back by years, if not decades," he added.

But still, there is hope. Hope that Eva Braun's charm offensive will give some counter-balance to America's bullying presence as a nation that forgets itself as a guest of an ancient and otherwise respected people.

Apparently, there is hope, Comrade. I hear rumors that the USA will see the light and bench its two Jewish sprinters, Sam Stoller and Marty Glickman, for the 4X100 relay

After allowing Jesse Owens to gratuitously humiliate native son Lutz Long in the broad jump, it's the least they can do

A most equal observation, Comrade Callmelennie.

I recognized an instant classic the moment I saw it, but it took me a while to get to making the NYT front page graphic. So now it's been posted and the story goes straight to the Mother Page!

Alaf ashkur, (which means a thousand thank yous in Arabic, but of course you know this, Saheeb Al Blogunov, LOL) And did you see that charming power couple, Joseph and Magda Goebbels with their six children bedecked in matching red outfits (To die for!!).

And speaking off uniforms to die for, what of the all black uniforms of the SS? Striking, are they not ... especially in juxtaposition with so many of the healthy blond, blue-eyed young men wearing them, all of whom seem to be well over six feet tall. One need only compare these robust young men with the shrunken and pallid denizens from the Depression-afflicted British Isles to know that a miraculous revitalization is occurring in the once-stricken heartland of Europe

And what can one say of the ubiquity of the new German banner, proudly on display virtually everywhere!! How marvelous to use the swastika, the ancient symbol of fortuitous beginnings, as a means of outreach to the ancient civilizations of India and the Far East, which also share this sacred symbol and which had suffered so many indignities as a result of Anglo-American arrogance. And what design visionary decided to mount it on a white disk and set it on a red field, symbolic of a new, revitalizing perfussion of blood. So striking!! Onward and upward, father land of the Germans!

Nothing so clearly sets the resurgent Fatherland apart from the starving victims of free market capitalism. Indeed, if not for the socialist intervention of FDR, we'd still be in a depression 90 years later. I know. I've seen the meme and the video about how much better everything is in Denmark.

I salute this most equal of posts, comrade Blogunov. If comrade Director ever decides to start collecting a few stories for a "TPC anthology", this one should be included.

Now that the Soviet Union is a (beloved) memory, perhaps it's time to rehabilitate the memory of National SOCIALISM. Perhaps we could rename it "Popular" or "Populist" Socialism. Call it the Ponzi Party.

Thank you for the kind remarks, Minitrue.

Whoopie, why don't we call it Anti-Fascism, or Antifa for short?

Indeed, Komisar Al Blogunov, it is self evident that, had it not been for the socialist policies of FDR, the USA would have been mired in a permanent depression. The very fact that the Great Depression lasted for 10 years DESPITE the brilliant interventions of FDR and John Maynard Keynes prove that this MUST BE TRUE!! The point cannot even be argued.

Consider the recovery of German economy, accomplished in but FOUR years under the auspices of the Third Reich. And what robust industries were spawned, especially in armaments. Has the world seen a a more accurate artillery piece than the 88mm gun? And what of the robustness of the Junkers 87 Stuka. Could anyone even ten years prior imagine a plane that could dive straight down for thousands of feet carrying a 2000 lb bomb without causing its airframe to disintegrate? What a testament to the efficacy of government-business partnering!!
