Hitler & Blonde women, just something I noticed.

[Navy Vet]

I seen this color clip, on the history channel, of Hitler meeting some women. There were about 6 women and he met 2 blonde, then 2 brown, 1 blonde, and a black haired woman.

What I noticed is that he would kiss the hand of the blonde but not the others. I felt he did it intentionally since they weren't in order and the blonde after the brown hair got a kiss also then the last (black hair) woman didn't.

Kinda odd since he has black hair himself.

I doubt Geli would have shared you suspicions

This is called "nitpicking".

Maybe he was already acquainted with the two blonde women and not with the others. I wonder what he would have done if there had been a red haired woman in the crowd.

I am with Ovidius on this one.

I have no suspicions nor was I nitpicking, it was just something I noticed.
The reference was to see if it was commonplace or not.
Didn't mean to offend

Hallo Navy Vet,

I do not believe that you offended anyone. Your observation skills are excellent and I am not sure I would have picked up on the things you did had I viewed the clip. I probably should not have been flippant in my post. The problem is that not knowing the context of the film clip and not knowing the identities of the people with A.H., it is difficult to make any valid generalizations. I still stand by my comment that he may have known the two blonde women. I do not think that hair color had anything to do with his actions in the clip.

A.H. is one of the most analyzed figures in history. Because he was so evil, A.H. has come to be seen as a monster or a demon. I think that people often forget that he was also a human being with likes, dislikes, ordinary quirks, bad hair days, and flatulence. In an effort to understand why he was so evil, we all try to read something into his every known action and utterance, but we have to realize that not every action is a clue or a key to what made him evil. Sometimes the blink of an eye is just a blink. What is so scary, yet so fascinating, about A.H. is that instead of being a monster or a demon, he was one of us.

No hard feelings?

Regards

Herr Goebbels probably told Hitler to concentrate on the more Aryan looking women when he was out in the public eye.

Modern politicians call it a photo opp.

he was also a human being with flatulence

yea I notice all kinds of littlet things... like the way the Doenitz shrugs his shoulders a lot.

Well, there are at least two possible answers. First, Hitler never met the blondes but already met the other 3 women. It is polite to kiss a woman's hand if you don't know her. You don't need to do so if you already know her.

Second, Hitler was considering the 3 blondes having a better blood so he was very polite to them bu only polite to the 3 others. Well, it is just a thought.

About that hand-kissing thing...
Do Europeans still do that or is it a quaint custom of a bygone era?
I think it's so charming.

At least we, in Romania, do it. I can't speak for others.

I lived in Italy 95-97 and they didn't do it.
However, they did kiss the cheeks (face).

How would he know if they were really blondes? I mean, Dr. Goebbels apparently did not even know that his own wife's hair was not really blond...
