Continuing with Robert Swift's memories of World War II.
In the last post, I mentioned that he brings the head of Adolf Hitler to his school presentations. It is not Hitler's actual head, but a bust he "liberated" from bombed-out office in Germany near the end of the war. And, there is a story that goes with how he came to have it.
Before shipping off overseas, Swift asked his sister if there was anything she wanted him to bring back when he returned.
Her reply was, "Hitler's head!"
So, he brought home the bronze head which he says his sister used as a door stop for many years. Now, Swift uses it as a teaching tool.
Great Story. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
