Not at all, the Fuhrer's escape from death was trumpeted as proof of divine intervention and providence being on his side. It was pretty amazing that anyone got out of that bunker alive, apparently it wasn't the best idea to place the bomb under a heavy duty map table with solid concrete legs.Lobscouse wrote:Thank you varjag for that.

On the contrary. Hitler was reported to have later bragged to Mussolini about how invincible he was after surviving the assasination attempt. He used the damaged pants as evidence of how close he was to the blast.Thank you varjag for that. Displaying a pair of shredded pants seems to go against the very essence of Teutonic or Third Reich symbolism of heroism, as we have seen displayed in art. I mean this would be no challenge to the Hermannsdenkmal.
Annelie, you are not alone in your assessment of those pants, as they seem more likely to be a part of Herman Georing's wardrobe.
Nothing above is intended to be disrespectful to the memory of anyone alive or dead.
