Thanks, Corsican!

Since this is the end of the scene, let’s just assume that in the next panel, Hitler would have said, “Yes, Herr Doktor, that’s very good. Now put out that damned cigarette!”

Great stuff, man! Just caught up with this and really like what I see.

One minor nitpick, and it truly is small- Hitler hated smoking and refused to allow it to happen in his presence. Like I said, though, just a little thing.

Don’t worry, Rogahar, no one thinks you’re a Nazi sympathizer!

It’s tricky to write about the Nazis. They’re so reviled that the instinct is to portray them simply as monsters, but that would be both unrealistic and uninteresting. Nazism was monstrous. Nazis were people who subscribed to a monstrous philosophy, but most people can’t be defined by a single aspect of their personality.

You guys are doing a really good job of portraying the Nazis here. They’re undeniably all a bunch of racist s, but they’re still -human-, not the unconcsionable, immoral monstrosities they’re usually depicted at.

NB: I’m not backing the Nazis here, it’s just nice to see a new take 😛
