Human nature


I may have to rethink my policy on certain conservative commentators after reading this bit about Adolf Hitler:
This privilege [that of referring to the city as a "Free and Hanse" city to mark former membership in the Hanseatic League] was removed by the Nazis after the Senat of Lübeck did not permit Adolf Hitler to speak in Lübeck during his election campaign. He held the speech in Bad Schwartau, a small village on the outskirts of Lübeck. He later referred to Lübeck always as "the small city close to Bad Schwartau."
