Skip to 0:41 for the catchy refrain. "Adolf Hitler's lieblingsblume ist das schlichte Edelweiss"

I bought an edelweiss from a pretty flower girl at Oktoberfest.

What other flowers are loved by historical monsters?

Maybe Stalin liked tulips? Maybe Trump likes pansies?

See "The World at War" for the best WWII documentary.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
The soldier with autism on Band of Brothers liked it too.

The Japanese royal family likes them. That's reason enough to dislike them.

Actually Stalin was a keen gardener, so I'm sure he had a favourite flower. Simon Sebag Montefiore writes quite a bit about Stalin's hobbies in his biography Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar, but I'm too lazy to open the book and look it up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edelweiss_Pirates

wikipedia posted:

The Edelweiss Pirates (Edelweißpiraten) were a loosely organized group of youth in Nazi Germany. They emerged in western Germany out of the German Youth Movement of the late 1930s in response to the strict regimentation of the Hitler Youth. Similar in many ways to the Leipzig Meuten, they consisted of young people, mainly between the ages of 14 and 17, who had evaded the Hitler Youth by leaving school (which was allowed at 14) and were also young enough to avoid military conscription, which was only compulsory from the age of 17 onward.

I remember from Montefiore's book on Stalin that he was into gnawing on frozen fish. He got a taste for it while in exile in Siberia where he became good friends with some natives. After he came to power they kept some fish for him in a freezer.

That's also where he had an affair up with a 13-year-old girl, got her pregnant and then skedaddled.

edelweiss is a pretty song and its a shame it's associated with nazis because otherwise it's fun and melancholy to sing.

The intro song for the show "man in the high castle" where the nazis won WW2 is about edelweiss. Also the airline I would always fly home from switzerland was called edelweiss. It's a pretty versatile flower.

Yeah except Hugo Boss uniforms didn't let children escape into Switzerland, and I'm pissed that a song about a roadside flower somehow did?
