If Himmler and Goring look like big fuckin' weirdos here, you are correct. Goring in particular became a hugely obese morphine addict in the later stages of the Reich. Albert Speer talks about going to his house to meet him and this slovenly wild-eyed dude in a robe coming to meet him at the door, and being absolutely shocked that this guy used to be some kind of war hero.
He was just a big fuckin' weirdo. He tried to say at his trial that he didn't have anything to do with any of this "holocaust" stuff, and they had a good chuckle and sentenced him to death.
They're always like that.
Look at Trump's people, it seems like a '800 freak show.
DEFINITELY speaking from experience there
Absolutely lol. He's an Italian politician from the mid 20th century. I can pretty much guarantee that he has encyclopedic knowledge about prostitutes.
