He was supposedly sexually excited by screaming at thousands of brainwashed Germans, this somehow titillated him to the point of ejaculation. Of course, the only person who could deny or confirm this is Hitler's personal underwear cleaner.Vjetropevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029186664622538341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876855733786677361.post-41300543511235254212014-09-14T07:03:41.606+02:002014-09-14T07:03:41.606+02:00Is there any truth to the story that Hitler stood ...Is there any truth to the story that Hitler stood up the entire time he would attend a performance of one of Wagner's operas? <br />And alas, no smelly fat Germans ever shared stories about their Berliner whores with me. In my short visit to Germany I found the Germans exactly as I had imagined them to be - efficient, frugal and boring. If I had known about their love of Berliner whores maybe I would have found them more interesting. <br /><br />Perhaps I'm shallow like that - Wagner I don't get. Ode to Joy makes me feel a tinge of bliss when I hear it. thalassa_mikrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942716364297839680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876855733786677361.post-77398455567953066662014-09-08T16:21:42.979+02:002014-09-08T16:21:42.979+02:00And Hitler's speeches don't motivate you t...And Hitler's speeches don't motivate you to learn German?
