@NickJMatzke @AdamRutherford @M_H_Taylor @CaiusCollege I didn't 'buy into' Weikart's conflation of 'Darwinism' with Nazi Social Darwinism. But he did some real research and must be taken seriously - and I am far from being the only serious historian who does (see e.g. Jane Caplan's "Nazi Germany: A Very Short Introduction").

London Fog: The Biography

Christine L. Corton
Sir Richard EvansSir Richard Evans

@JennRJohnson I remember the last one in London, 1962. Yellow, like split-pea soup, the food of the poor; so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Natural fog mixed with sulphur emissions from coal fires. See Christine Corton's book 'London Fog: The Biography' (Harvard UP, 2015).

Hitler: The Memoir of a Nazi Insider Who Turned Against the Führer

Ernst Hanfstaengl
Sir Richard EvansSir Richard Evans

According to Ernst ('Putzi') Hanfstaengl, Hitler was a great admirer of Henry VIII. 'Das war schon ein Bursche!' - 'that was a real lad!' 'Six wives, not bad - and two got rid of on the scaffold. We really should go to the Tower and see where they were executed' he said in 1925.
