20th Century History/Hitler in Vienna

Expert: Michel Cahier - 7/28/2009


Question
I have no question, I am not an expert, but... I see the mistakes in your article. I repeat : mistakes (plural). 1/Sechstrausenstrasse didn't en doesn't exist in Vienna; correct would be : Sechshauser Strasse (56). 2/ Photo with text : family house in Linz; correct would be : the house where A. Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn.   3/ Photo with misleading text : Winifred wasn't the wife of Richard Wagner, but his son's wife. Kind regards from the Flanders in Belgium.

Answer
merci pour vos  remarques, mais je n' ai jamais  écrit que winifred  
était la fille de wagner, j'écris  que "Richard was dead since 1883, but the "spirit"
lingered on. Cosima, then 86, kissed him : her daughter-in-law
Winifred, and her son-in-law, the racial theorist, Houston Stewart
Chamberlain, called Hitler "God's gift to Germany". Hitler could not
find more sympathetic ears than the English-born Winifred and
Houston."
par ailleurs la photo que vous mentionnez est bien la maison de Linz et non la
maison natale de Braunau
enfin sechshauserstrasse effectivement n'existe pas sous ce nom, je corrigerai l'erreur d'orthographe dès mon retour aux USA
en atendant encore merci et bonnes amitiés de provence

Expertise

I am a French amateur historian in German history between 1918 and 1945, particularly with regard to the Nazi era, Hitler's character and the occupation of Europe.

Experience

I have worked on the subject of Nazism since college and since I retired I developed a complete site with more than 60 chapters devoted to different aspects of the Nazi era. I have developed too a special interest in Nazi Art and the treatment of art by the Nazis. My site had about 2000 hits per week and is very well considered. I would be glad to help some people who have very precise questions about Hitler and the Nazis. My site can be consulted at http://schikelgruber.net/index.html. Needless to say that I am not a supporter of the Nazis and never in this site do I attempt to justify or excuse their policies.

Organizations
I used to work for the Agence France Presse, La Tribune, TV Channel France 3 and as the Editor of the Agence Economique et Financiere. I was in position in Brussels, London and Paris.

Publications
I published a book about the entrepreneurs and the motives for creating a company in the 80s and a book about the Franco-Swiss jeweller Philippe Charriol in the 90s

Education/Credentials
I graduated in Law and Political Sciences, I have a MBA from the Paris Chamber of commerce and I have a license of massage therapy (RMT) of the State of Texas
