Confirming stereotypes since 1918
Upon hearing a rumor in 1953 that Hitler was still alive in Brazil, the Egyptian weekly al-Musawwar asked seven public figures … what they would say to Hitler.
Sadat’s message: “I congratulate you with all my heart, because, though you appear to have been defeated, you were the real victor, you were able to sow dissension between Churchill, the “old man,” and his allies on the one hand and their ally, the devil, on the other … There will be no peace until Germany is restored to what it was … That you have become immortal in Germany is reason enough for pride. And we should not be surprised to see you again in Germany, or a new Hitler in your place.”
Yeah, Egyptians, I really don’t know why you’re not more proud of your presidents.
