Ann, a lot of people who should have known better during the 1930's
admired the First Leader of the Third Reich.
It's been remarked that if he had died in early 1939 instead of when he
did, he'd be remembered as the man who rebuilt Germany and restored her
to for front of the family of nations, abet at some cost to a few racial
minorities.
You shouldn't hold poor Edward's bromance against him, or you'll have to
hold it against FDR, Joe Kennedy, Lindbergh, and a host of others.
Edward probably wasn't any worse than the average European at the time,
it takes time to wake up from a spell, and not all wake up at the same
time. Not everyone can be Churchill.

I used to like that idea a lot - so romantic! , but that was before I
knew anything about Edward VIII being, well, maybe not such a nice guy.

Do you Brits know what else happened that day? a tad more important
historically than my birth... at least so far :-)
