When I think of Tim . .I always think of the outdoors .... ;) ............I don't know why, I believe that at one time maybe in a quieter time he used to write about that ..

Now, Of course I have no idea why he didn't point that out .. it is important. Just a guess, 'most' people once they read, hear see anything about 'nazis' that's it! ... the Focus all shifts to that ... and the rest is forgotten completely, the Nazi/Hitler is what people will 'focus' on.. this is true of myself and from what I hear places...that others do this too .... when someone dresses up as a Nazi, that's it! .. that's all people remember him by .... remember that politician who did that on the weekends now and then, regularly? anyway, that's just a guess. You know much more than me both historically and a whole bunch of other ways too ... but I believe that Egan knows very well about that horror...and he didn't want people to fixate once again on that.. ( that's just my guess) .. For instance I didn't know that the Buddhists were attacking the, was it Muslims? .. .and I never looked at the fact that many Irish folks were exactly like the Sunni's and Shia's ... now maybe I could have gotten that 'nazi' thing out of my mind immediately and gone on with such open eyes .. but I sincerely doubt it.

Also, He was just filling in for Gail Collins today ... I should have put that in there.

Adolf Hitler [...] 1937

This is probably the first time and this is the first country in which people are being taught to realize that, of all the tasks which we have to face, the noblest and most sacred for mankind is that each racial species must preserve the purity of the blood which God has given it... The greatest revolution which National Socialism has brought about is that it has rent asunder the veil which hid from us the knowledge that all human failures and mistakes are due to the conditions of the time and therefore can be remedied, but that there is one error which cannot be remedied once men have made it, namely the failure to recognize the importance of conserving the blood and the race free from intermixture and thereby the racial aspect and character which are God's gift and God's handiwork. It is not for men to discuss the question of why Providence created different races, but rather to recognize the fact that it punishes those who disregard its work of creation... As I look back on the great work that has been done during the past four years you will understand quite well that my first feeling is simply one of thankfulness to our Almighty God for having allowed me to bring this work to success. He has blessed our labors and has enabled our people to come through all the obstacles which encompassed them on their way... Today I must humbly thank Providence, whose grace has enabled me, who was once an unknown soldier in the War, to bring to a successful issue the struggle for the restoration of our honor and rights as a nation.
speech before the Reichstag, 30 January 1937

Remain strong in your faith, as you were in former years. In this faith, in its close-knit unity our people to-day goes straight forward on its way and no power on earth will avail to stop it.
