Auto giant Henry Ford visited Hitler and came home saying he was a good fella and we shouldn't think the bad things the press was saying about him were true.

Aviation hero, Charles L. Lindberg told how he admired the strides the Germans made in aviation and thought the US had a lot in common with Hitler's conservative regime.

The US Chamber of Commerce selected Benito Mussolini as their "Man of the Year" because under the efficiency of the right-wing fascist government, the trains in Italy now were running on time.

I can't say the conservatives are always wrong.

    - When the Nazis and Communists signed the famed non-agression pact, the LEFT in the USA followed the party line and kissed Hitler's ass. After all, Hitler was also a socialist. - David F Mayer - 6/1/2004 6:43:19 AM
      - Actually Hitler feared the Socialist and Communists, made them illegal, closed down all labor unions, prohibited strikes, etc. do I have to continue to show you how wrong you are? (n/t) - Publius - 6/1/2004 12:44:01 PM
