...Hitler, Lieut. General Karl Wolff was the very model of the Aryan SS general. To Himmler, his immediate superior, he was affectionately known as "Wolfie." But to American intelligence officers at the top-level P.W. camp at Gmunden in 1945, the tall, blond, aristocratic Wolff was a fascinating and highly valuable German patriot-"the white sheep" of the dreaded...
...short-pants set won't remember him, but those who pause for breath after climbing a flight of steps recall Jesse Owens, the Negro track-and-field star whose four gold medals left his Aryan hosts at the post during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Owens is 51 now, a Chicago marketing consultant, but, torch in hand, he puffed a few Manhattan blocks in track shorts to set the pace for 3,500 relay runners in a 3,100-mile cross-country "Run for the Money," to raise $1,000,000 for the 1964 U.S. Olympic team...
...Their different environments and histories have molded distinctive national characteristics.

But the assets tended to be hidden in one way or another. Romantic German poets sang the love of their women to the point of distraction, but their heroines usually sounded remote and untouchable. Faust's demure Gretchen was touchable, all right-but he left her to go cavorting...
Though even blondes bleached their hair for the super-Aryan look, the Nazis frowned on such womanly weapons as alluring clothes and makeup, considered that cotton undershirts and muslin slips were the proper attire for the descendants of breast-plated Valkyries. Their functional ideal was personified by Hitler's dark-blonde mistress, Eva Braun, and like her, it died with Hitler...
