Daily Video Classic: Hitler Mocks FDR Invasion Warning
The year is 1940: Europe and America are poised at the edge of World War. Several prophetic works of art were created that forsaw the impending end of civilization as the world had known it; among them Samuel Barber's elegaic Adagio for Strings and Tolkien's mythic Lord of the Rings saga. This video takes us back to the world of our grandparents and parents- a world plunged into a holocaust of previously unknown horror. Hitler's manic madness is captured in this rare footage.
In retrospect, it's amazing to think that Nazi Germany was the creation of a fascist thug, a nonentity with a mustache who wrested control of an advanced industrial state with an obscure party that was started by a locksmith in 1919. The 20th century might be a poor roadmap for the 21st, but only a fool would ignore it. (Also, checkout WW11 Cartoons of Hitler Discovered) Posted by Casey Kazan.
