Speaking of Hitler, who was his friend that bummed off of and tried to convince of his 'brilliance' as an artist? This same friend went on to write books about Hitler after the war.

It looks like Manu, the last correct responder, has been drowned out by the ladies' side conversation here, and has retired for the night.

Perhaps one of the ladies could find the time to ask a question, preferably one to which she herself knows the answer.

I'll go back to the cartels then, keeping in touch with Germany. This American company created an agreement with Krupps to sell a crucial wartime supply to Nazi Germany at $30-90 a pound and to the US at $200-400 a pound. As a famous author put it "Some people might think that was un-patriotic. Don't worry, nobody with any power." That is a great pun .
