And then lastly, a book I read uh very recently, this last few days, uh is called um Travelers in the Third Reich by Julia Boyd. And what she did is she found letters, journals, other contemporary accounts of basically British and Americans visiting Nazi Germany. And and so what were their impressions? Did they see and you know, spoiler, way too many of them did not see how bad this is going to be or were sympathetic.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
