Agree on most of your post as a matter of fact. Yes, in war time Nazi Germany plotting against Herrn Hitler as we know was fatal. That said this doesn't mean that this condition would necessarily have prevailed after the war. Also, sooner or later somebody had gotten to him. As was he was just extremely lucky to survive the plots against him. No wonder he believed fate kept a protecting hand over his person. All that said, however, I find it curious that as far as I know none of the leaders of countries involved in the war or close to the theater of same was replaced during WW II. How come? Were they all incidentally on a 6 years term 1939-1945 or were they kept in their office because of a popular vote, or did they keep their job "due to the will of the majority" or some other obscure reason conveniently thus decided by some administrative organ "for the best of the population"? As for "Hitler, The Dictator" I always had a problem with that. First of all he came into power according to the laws of Germany and while what happened later might well be characterized as dictatorial behavior by the means of our day, we shouldn't forget that he and the NSDAP had a majority of the German population behind them pretty much until the end of the war. Thus it could be said, that he only did what the population wanted him to do and would have voted anyway, had there been time and opportunity to call for general elections. Taro
