Further proof of what a horrible person Göring was. It’s too bad he killed himself. A half-century in the crossbar hotel would have given him time to reflect on his long list of evil acts. An excellent column.

Thanks Bob. The poison capsule he took had been hidden in a container of pomade.

A sobering read, with eerie parallels to the present day that I dare not mention (out of fear of triggering what I hope we can avoid, just like those feckless diplomats did back in then). 😳

Excellent use of history (and political art) to illuminate the present. Killing civilians is bad strategy indeed. Putin has no "heart," but in this case he doesn't get the strategic either. Take note of his birthday—and duck. Alas.
