Isn’t he nice? [please note: this is NOT a view my grandmother still holds by any means! but is interesting to note how the propoganda worked at the time] I saw him on the pictures yesterday, we saw the whole opening of the games at Berlin with the torch bearers and all the representatives of the different countries parading round the stadium. We also saw the American crowd training on the liner coming over and landing and driving through the streets and saw a great deal of the swimmers practicing. You’d have been very thrilled with it and I hope they’re running the film at home so you can see it. I wish you could have been at Berlin. Helen.
