I was one years old. Don't remember about some of this. Hitler escapes plot.
A bomb exploded in a packed Munich bar. Six were killed and 60 injured. Hitler
left sixteen minutes earlier. Strange how history could change in minutes. British
were blamed for plot. Same year Gone with the Wind opened to cheers in Atlanta.
1940 Fonda stars in "Grapes of Wrath", Last time I well mention Jane Fonda, the wrath,
Nazi enter Scandinavia Churchill Prime minister. I had my first beer. Dad put it
in my baby bottle. I spit it out. German's march through Paris. Today a Frenchman
had his head cut off. The world has always known terrorism. Aerial Blitz over Britain.
Can we get along people. I don't have anything against Muslims. But don't try to convince
me killing my neighbors is the thing to do over the ten commandments. First draft
number drawn in United States. My father who could beat women and children went into
hiding behind wine vats.  Anyone heard of a Packard Clipper? It was a car and cost
$907. Gasoline was $25 and rationed. I preferred milk to beer. Vichyites surrender Syria
to the allies. That stuff too has gone on forever. Get along people. Germany and Italy
expel US consuls. Lou Gehrig dies and Finland declares war on USSR, massive Nazi attack
made in Russia. Jews in Germany must wear Star of David. I think people should make their
own decisions. Like playing sports over smoking dope.
