Aside from the fact that he was not, in fact, pro Nazi (read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Schirer for the inside scoop), in the 1940s the British sovereign was already a figurehead with absolutely no political role and no power to determine policy. He still would have had to accept Churchill as Prime Minister, and the rest still would have been history.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759123995199859080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594623222758628619.post-88842434229406894792022-04-28T16:29:32.592-05:002022-04-28T16:29:32.592-05:00"Don said...

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Italian commedia dell'arteintroduced the hunchback Pulcinella for the mirth and mockery of its audience. His diasporic tale of ancient Roman curses, Marranism, and escape from fascist Italy to Argentina is recounted for the first time in an interview by the Itallian Radio Network RAI 8. The revelation of Pulcinella’s Judaic roots challenges the benign public image of the commedia dell'arteand casts the shadow of modernism over its not-so-innocent origins.<br /><br />Pulcinella is the last Marrano, or new Christian, who secretly worships as a Jew. He is not the descendant of Maccus from late Roman theater, nor the Neapolitan of Neapolitans as history has written, nor the Pulcinella of the ghetto tribe Tiepolo has painted, but the other Pulcinella who wears mask upon mask and whose true identity is as a descendant of Jews who emigrated from Spain to Venice via the Kingdom of Naples, only to emerge in the 17th century a favorite of the commedia dell arte.”<br /><br />.http://www.mafishco.com/video_Pulcinella01.htmMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889644080488604002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594623222758628619.post-21338601012698474622020-02-03T11:55:14.897-06:002020-02-03T11:55:14.897-06:00Made by the Eskilstuna Knife Factory (EKA) in Swed...Made by the Eskilstuna Knife Factory (EKA) in Sweden.
