Book brings letters to Hitler to light

[Swede]

BERLIN - At first glance, the letter carefully printed in a child's hand seems innocuous, nothing more than the expression of a young crush: "I love you so much. Write me — please. Many greetings. Your Gina."


But the note takes on a more sinister tone when its recipient is known: Adolf Hitler.

1. You know why I'm posting this excerpt - we're there. nt

There were protests early on from abroad about Nazi policies; they got no response.

"Hitler was uninterested," Eberle said. "The high point of the protests was 1934, but then I think most people realized it made no sense to protest."

6. That sounds like it could be true.

I'll bet the love letters to Hitler from American industrialists would fill another book.

9. Dear Adolf,

As soon as we get Smedley Butler on board, we will get rid of Roosevelt and then we can all join the party.
The Gang.
