...Weber's mammoth and fascinating study demonstrates, the answer is, a great deal. The Action Francaise was the most important political organization on the Right and the training ground for many Rightists who went on to found their own organizations. Though it only attracted the world's eye after Hitler's rise to power, it was organized nearly ten years before the First World War, and it collected within its "cells" the inheritors of a tradition of nationalist, monarchist and reactionary thought extending back almost 100 years. It was no mere cabal of amoral big businessmen such as supported...
...material progress is no moral justification for a regime, even if its leaders have managed to acquire widespread popular support. Hitler, after all, built good roads and won himself some elections. According to Snow, however, the Chinese government has demonstrated neither the brutality nor the imperialist tendencies of a fascist state. National pride is widespread, to be sure, and, after ten years of indoctrination, so is widespread belief in the eventual triumph of world communism. But according to all the official propaganda, at least, this does not mean Chinese or Russian territorial expansion. The Chinese intend to aid and encourage...
...Heidelberg's famous for wine, women and song; Göttingen's famous for wine, women and nuclear physics," says an American student at Germany's most notably nuclear university. Before Hitler, George August University in Goötingen harbored some of the world's great nuclear names-Born. Hahn, Heisenberg-and hatched a Who's Who of U.S. science -Fermi, Compton, Teller, Oppenheimer. After the war, as one of Germany's few relatively unbombed universities, Göttingen got quickly to work restoring its reputation, but its greatest days probably lie ahead. Last...
Then came Hitler. By 1945, when this Walt Disney picture begins, Allied bombs are bursting in the courtyard of the academy and Russian columns are rushing toward Vienna. The Lipizzan stallions stand in mortal peril, but the Führer refuses to let them leave the city-the move might be interpreted as an admission of defeat. Colonel Alois Podhajsky (Robert Taylor), commandant of the academy, rebelliously horsenaps his own herd, ships it to safety in an isolated village. So much for the stallions, but what about the Lipizzan mares? They are prancing through Bohemia like a bunch of damn...
...century ago, miserly August Thyssen gained hold of high-grade ore supplies in Sweden and France and built ore-skimpy Germany into a major steel power. His son, Fritz Thyssen, was the first industrialist to support Hitler, but in 1939 denounced him and spent most of the war in a Nazi internment camp; he died in 1951. Fritz Thyssen's widow, Amelie, now 85, proved resourceful: she found loopholes in the Allied decartelization decrees and gradually welded together much of the old steel dynasty. From her Bavarian castle, Frau Thyssen today controls 52% of Phoenix stock...
