Colin, the Duck! Works for me.
Little Hawk, a German told me that one of the attractions of the Nazi regime was the lowering of the bar between management and labo(u)r. He said that after Hitler came to power the bosses were encouraged to come to the pubs and sit and drink with the men in conviviality, and that this *never* happened before. Germany had been very class conscious, he said, and Hitler very positively affected that. I have not read that anywhere, but that evidently was the perception of the Germans themselves.
It feels strange to think and post what amounts to positive thoughts about Nazism when it really had no redeeming qualities. What I'm trying to do here, as I said, is to look at it from the point of view of those who felt they benefitted from it.
