Heathen & Hitler

The return of War-great General Erich Friedrich Wilhelm Ludendorff from the obscurity of a suspect crackbrain to official sanity just as sound as any other German's nowadays, and also to official greatness, was accomplished last week by Adolf Hitler. He and Ludendorff conspired together for the Munich "Beer Hall Putsch" of 1923, marching down the street at the head of their henchmen toward Power-- they hoped.
