    Nice one. Right up there with the A & R guy who turned down the Beatles because "guitar bands are on the way out"! :D

    He recieved some pretty good preferential treatment, didn't he? The guy worked with Hess day and night on his book. If he was roughed up a little at a place like San Quentin, he might have changed his attitude. In fact, did he ever get his butt kicked (Other than loosing the war that is)?

    Ranks right up there with New York's Evening Sun final evening edition headline for Monday April 15, 1912...."ALL SAVED FROM TITANIC AFTER COLLISION."

    Do you think Adolf's special treatment in Landsberg was a reflection of judicial opinion at the time? Or his status as a polittical figure? No other incident assisted him more in giving him a national profile. At the trial itself he was allowed lots of public time to air his views. Governments of the day were shooting putschists out of hand, after all.

    Maybe Luddendorf's participation and wounding had a lot of influence on public opinion.
