    Time Magazine 1938 Man of the Year - Adolf Hitler

    http://content.time.com/time/special...019588,00.html



    TIME explained what was perhaps the most controversial of its choices thus: "Hitler became in 1938 the greatest threatening force that the democratic, freedom-loving world faces today" (1/2/39)

    Amazing! I think we may have helped financed German War preparations.

    You have to remember that at the time FDR, Hitler, and Mussolini mutually admired each other.

    That was back when TIME practiced the lost art of journalism.

    As bizarre as ut seems in hindsight, by the rules of the MAN OF THE YEAR event was always based on who had been the most newsworthy.

    Hitler certainly met that.
