On June 23, 1940, Adolf Hitler surveys notable sites in the French
capital, now German-occupied territory.

In his first and only visit to Paris, Hitler made Napoleon’s tomb
among the sites to see. “That was the greatest and finest moment
of my life,” he said upon leaving. Comparisons between the Fuhrer
and
Napoleon have been made many times.

LAST CHRISTMAS SHOW ON THIS DATE ~ 1972

Bob Hope Does His Final Christmas Show In Vietnam-This Day 1972 |  slicethelife

Comedian Bob Hope gave what he says is his last Christmas show
to U.S. servicemen in Saigon. Hope was a star of stage, radio, TV
and over 50 feature films.
 

Hope was one of many Hollywood stars who followed the tradition
of traveling overseas to entertain American troops stationed abroad.

The 1972 show marked Hope’s ninth consecutive Christmas Vietnam appearance. Although some antiwar protesters criticized Hope for supporting government policies in Vietnam, the comedian said he believed it was his responsibility to lift spirits by entertaining the
troops.
