Home and Gardens Magazine 1938. Who would live in an Berchtesgaden like this?

"it is over 12 years since Herr Hitler fixed on the site of his one and only home. It had to be close to the Austrian border" [ho, ho...]

[....]

"The colour scheme throughout this bright, airy chalet is light jade green. The Führer is his own decorator, designer and furnisher, as well as architect... [Hitler] has a passion about cut flowers in his home." [fond of puppies, kissing babies etc]

And he is seldom alone in his mountain hideaway, as he "delights in the society of brilliant foreigners, especially painters, musicians and singers. As host, he is a droll raconteur... " [such a charming man...]

Crazy how peoples' stock rises and falls... It's like in Deuteronomy "There is a time for all things. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to tell the critically reflected, considered truth and a time to repeat conventional pieties in the interest of prevailing power interests."

[...]

who's in here?

"look who's practising his archery in the garden: "It is strange to watch the burly Field-Marshal Göering, as chief of the most formidable airforce in Europe, taking a turn with the bow-and-arrow at straw targets of 25 yards range."

May as well make him Time Magazine man of the year (twice)... and all the time the harsh clicking of jack boots hammering down in unison, free at last from freedom, liberated from truth, looking to the leader, THE LEADER!
