既然打着电影的招牌不贴张海报好像过意不去=^-^=
                                                             

电影开篇结尾引的一句话很喜欢：

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

                                                     Edmund Burke(1729-97)



（插花说一句，演Ernst Hanfstaengl 居然就是演CSI里死掉的Keppler，当时还赚了我一把眼泪）

好了，我不是想说电影，
我是对Ernst Hanfstaengl 这个人物比较好奇，查了点资料，
他跟罗斯福是哈佛校友，他是希特勒早期的新闻主管。。。

                                                                

                                                                   

Hitler and Ernst (Putzi) Hanfstaengl. Putzi was Hitler's press agent and piano player. He was very close friends with FDR from their Harvard days.

FDR had him released from a Canadian POW camp and transferred to Wash, D.C. to advise him on the conduct of the war!!

Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl (Munich, February 2, 1887 - November 6, 1975) was the only person known to have worked directly for both Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler.

Ernst Hanfstaengl, nicknamed "Putzi", was born in Munich, Germany, the son of a wealthy and famous German art publisher and an American mother. He spent most of his early years in Germany and later moved to the United States. His mother was Katharine Wilhelmina Heine, daughter of William Heine, a (lithographer, Union General, possibly pallbearer to Lincoln^{[citation needed]}) and a cousin of John Sedgwick. His godfather was Duke Ernst II. He attended Harvard University where he composed football songs and became acquainted with Walter Lippmann and John Reed. He graduated in 1909.

He moved to New York and took over management of the American branch of his father's business, Franz Hanfstaengl Fine Art Publishing House. Each morning, he would practice piano at the New York Harvard Club where he became acquainted with both Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt. Among his circle of acquaintances were newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, author Djuna Barnes, and actor Charlie Chaplin.

At the outbreak of the first world war he asked the then German military attache in New York to smuggle him back to Germany. Slightly baffled by the proposal, the attache refused and Hanfstaengl remained in the US during the war. From 1917 onwards, the American branch of the family business was confiscated as enemy property.

On February 11, 1920, Hanfstaengl married Helene Elise Adelheid Niemeyer of Long Island. They had their only son, Egon Ludwig, almost a year later (he eventually enlisted in the US Army air corps). A daughter, Hertha, died at 5.

Returning to Germany in 1922, Putzi was living back in his native Bavaria when he first heard Hitler speak in a Munich beer hall. A fellow member of the Harvard Hasty Pudding club who had become a U.S. Embassy official asked Hanfstaengl to assist a military attache sent to observe the political scene in Munich. Just before returning to Berlin the attache, Capt. Truman Smith, suggested that Hanfstaengl go to a Nazi rally for him and report on his impressions of Hitler. Hanfstaengl was so impressed with Hitler that he soon became one of his most intimate followers, although he did not formally join the Nazi party until 1931. "What Hitler was able to do to a crowd in 2½ hours will never be repeated in 10,000 years," Hanfstaengl said. "Because of his miraculous throat construction, he was able to create a rhapsody of hysteria. In time, he became the living unknown soldier of Germany."

Impressed with Hitler, Putzi introduced himself after the speech and began a close friendship and political association that would last through the 1920s and early 1930s. After participating with Hitler in the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, he sheltered Hitler in the attic of his home in Uffing, outside of Munich. There his wife Helene reportedly prevented Hitler from killing himself, disarming him with a judo grip her husband had taught her. For much of the 1920s, Putzi worked to introduce the future Nazi leader to Munich high-society and polish his image in the eyes of the world. He also helped finance publication of Hitler's Mein Kampf and the NSDAP's official newspaper Völkischer Beobachter. Hitler was named godfather to Hanfstaengl's son Egon. Hanfstaengl wrote Brownshirt marches based on his Harvard football songs and, he later claimed, devised the chant of "Sieg Heil". Included among Ernst Hanfstaengl's friends during this period were Hanns Heinz Ewers and fellow Nazi party worker and journalist Kurt Lüdecke.

As a native English speaker with many connections to higher society in both England and America he became head of the Foreign Press Bureau in Berlin. Aside from this official position, much of his importance lay in his friendship with Hitler, who enjoyed listening to "Putzi" play the piano. Hanfstaengl later claimed to have participated in the Reichstag fire.

As the NSDAP gathered power, several disputes arose between Hanfstaengl and Germany's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. He was shunted off of Hitler's staff in 1933. Ernst and Helene divorced in 1936. Hanfstaengl fell completely out of Hitler's favour after he was denounced by Unity Mitford, a close friend of both the Hanfstaengls and Hitler.

In 1937 Hanfstaengl received orders to parachute into an area held by the nationalist side of the Spanish Civil War, to assist in negotiations. Immediately suspecting a plot against his life, onboard the plane he pressed for more details from the pilot, who eventually admitted he'd been ordered to drop Hanfstaengl over loyalist-held territory, which would have meant almost certain death. Hanfstaengl convinced the pilot to let him escape at a fuel stopover by faking a machine damage.

Another version of this story, related by Albert Speer in his memoirs, suggests that this "mission" to Spain was nothing more than an elaborate practical joke concocted by Hitler and Goebbels, designed to punish Hanfstaengl after he'd displeased the Fuhrer. The plane, according to Speer, was merely circling over Germany containing an increasingly disconcerted Hanfstaengl, and finally landed in Leipzig after the joke had played itself out. Hanfstaengl, however, was so disconcerted by the event that he defected soon afterward.

He made his way to Switzerland and after securing his son Egon's release from Germany, moved to England where he was imprisoned as an enemy alien after the outbreak of World War II. He was later moved to a prison camp in Canada. In 1942 Hanfstaengl was turned over to the U.S. (likely after Roosevelt's personal intercession) and worked for President Roosevelt's 'S-Project,' informing on 400 leading Nazis. He provided 68 pages of information on Adolf Hitler alone including personal details of Hitler's private life, plus he helped Professor Henry A. Murray, Director of the Harvard Psychological Clinic, and psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer and other experts to create a 1943 report for the OSS designated as the "Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler." In 1944, Hanfstaengl was handed back to the British, who returned him to Germany after the end of the war. William Shirer, a CBS journalist who resided in Nazi Germany until 1941 and was in frequent contact with Hanfstaengl described him as an "eccentric, gangling man, whose sardonic wit somewhat compensated for his shallow mind."

Hanfstaengl wrote Unheard Witness (1957) about his experiences. In 2004, his story was told by author Peter Conradi in his book Hitler's Piano Player: The Rise and Fall of Ernst Hanfstaengl, Confidante of Hitler, Ally of FDR.
