Subject: History<br><br><font color="navy"><span style="color: navy;">"</span></font>Hi, Heinrich!<br><br>
In Berlin?!
Have you relocated or are you traveling?<br><br>
Indeed! What a blotch on Brunswick's
history! Might that be a reason why it lost its status as a "free state"? <br><br>
In fact, Brunswick
was one of the major nests of Nazidom. The local Nazi elite succeeded where
others had failed: to get Hitler some sort of state position, which at that
time would have made him automatically eligible for German citizenship (rather
than the other way around). First they failed because H. was being his usual
jerk and drama queen. Then they secured for him a job in the city's surveying
department. Naturalization took place just in time for the election ... and the
rest is history. Hadn't he been in jail in Germany (where he wrote <i><span style="font-style: italic;">Mein Kampf</span></i>), and didn't that make him
ineligible anyway?<br><br>
Well, I heard that early in 2007 Isolde Saalmann, a Social Democrat politician
of Brunswick,
moved that that citizenship be revoked ... "as a symbolic gesture." A
lot of good that'd do! "Oh ... uh ... Sorry! Never mind that mistake
seventy or eighty years ago! We'll correct it now so as to make our city's
record nice and clean again. All right, Austria, you can have him back
now." Whatever happened on that score? <br><br>
