There would be the Führer Palace, with a reception hall 500 yards long, and a triumphal arch twice as wide as Napoleon's. Over everything would loom the Kuppelhalle, a domed meeting hall vast enough to enclose St. Peter's Cathedral. "I would never have entered politics," the Führer would sigh, "if I could have been an architect or a master builder...
