There was the only normal Nazi, Rudolf Hess, called "Fraulein" because he is hysterical Hitler's nursemaid and governess. There was the ex-wine salesman, Joachim von Ribbentrop, who used to be much in demand for amateur theatricals in the homes of rich and cultured Jews, because he played effete Englishmen in Oscar Wilde plays.
