In my youth in Germany all boys had and loved the series of those green Karl May books. Karl May never saw the Wild West and being able to write books about it, despite not having practical knowledge, is amazing. They were written before television or the Internet. You can still buy his books in every bookstore today.
@@RackwitzG His books were written and published decades before he traveled to the United States in 1908. It was a typical tourist vacation (including the Niagara Falls) and he traveled first class. By 1908, the "Wild West" was history. "Winnetou 4", the epilogue to the Winnetou trilogy, however, appeared in 1909/10 and he used impressions from his voyage.
On a side note, I remember reading that an uncle of Manfred von Richtofen was a cattle rancher near Denver, and invited his young nephew to move to the US to help out. Clearly, Manfred chose to stay in Europe.
For some unknown reason, Stalin supposedly sent some KGB agents to Los Angeles to kill the actor John Wayne, but were unsuccessful. Another fan of American Western TV shows & movies was Brezhnev, who somehow became a "pal" of the TV show "Rifleman" star: Chuck Connors.
Communist premier Breshnev was a great fan of American western movies. I think Kruschev may have been too. American Presidents sent movies to the USSR for their enjoyment.
I read a claim that Stalin particularly loved American gangster films, particularly a film called Each Dawn I Die. He was a big cinephile and he and the guys from the Politburo often gathered to watch films as part of a night of drinking and watching movies until the wee hours. (Stalin was - unofficially but in truth - the man who decided what foreign films the Soviet citizenry got to see.)
@Frank-Lee-Speeking "Each Dawn I Die," a 1939 Warner Bros. film starring James Cagney and George Raft. One of the Cagney classics. People have put together lists of the Hollywood films Hitler and Stalin liked- many of the films we all remember and love.
15 sections isn't a big cattle ranch when each cow - calf pair needs a section of sparse grass to live for a year. Grazing rates vary, some ranches can carry a pair to every 50 or 100 acres. Ranches aren't measured in acres, they're measured in sections as mentioned. A large ranch would be hundreds of sections,but grazing rates haven't changed much from the 1950s to now. One cow has to eat the same amount of calories to raise one calf same as then.
Karl May alone is worth reading up on. Guy wrote almost 100 novels and story collections and all of them are complete fabrications, sold as stuff that really happened to him. He traveled through north and south america, turkey, persia, arabia, north africa - that is on paper. He never left central Europe. And up until the 70s/80s, he was super popular here. There's still a live action theater that does shows based on his wild west novels and his two most well known characters, the Apache Winnetou and his alter ego "Old Shatterhand" are household names still with the older population. I made sure to grab all of my father's collection of his works. My generation (1980) still grew up with them, but we definitely were the last. But again, do read up on Karl May.
In my youth i've read a lot of 'm ; must still own some somewhere. But my kids .. they unfortunately never got the affection to books as I did. Maybe when they get older.
A German friend presented me with a copy of Karl May's book, in exchange, I gave them a copy of " Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey. Both were enjoyed very much.
Thank you for helping me understand a small part of a scene from the movie Inglorious Basterds. They Apache chief and Shatterhand are mentioned and well recognized by the Germans present, I'd never heard of them.
As an American that lives on the High Plains of NE Colorado, surrounded by grasses, corn, sorghum, alfalfa and cattle, and live within a stones throw of the Sand Creek Massacre Historic Site and other less advertised Indian Wars Sites, and less than an hour North of the alleged land, I don't blame him for being fascinated with the area. Lot of German surnames in the area for sure.
Awesome Job on the video. I also appreciated the way you said "and now a word from our sponsors" while you were showing the old footage, it felt right!
I would say that Karl May's westerns are still popular in Germany. My German wife, born in 1959, is a BIG fan of the books with the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, the main protagonists in May's westerns. The books were made into films and the sets were in Croatia and the Plitvice National Park which many Germans flocked to visit. My wife still has very fond memories of those films.
a fictional story idealizing natives completely negating their culture and history, thats a true german fairy tale :D cheers from croatia, Winnetou is here known only as "books only germans read"
Science fiction author Norman Spinrad wrote a book called The Iron Dream where Hitler emigrated to America and became an illustrator for comic books and then went on to write a book describing a fantasy world that looked disturbingly like Nazi Germany.
Mr. Felton, could you please make a video about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s father, Gusatv Schwarzenegger? During WWII, he was a member of the SA, was in the military police, and was wounded at Leningrad.
The KKK founded the motion picture industry which is headquartered in Cali. Hitler is also a vampire who's still alive and maintains a residence there. His home is worth over $10 million and he has more of them scattered around the world. However he's always had a distinct affinity for California. When he was the Russian mystic Rasputin he evacuated his Russian daughter Maria to California before he ruined the country. Plus in college I was acquainted by yet another of his descendants. Also from California.
@mraaronhd Literally the dry facts are that a) the Ku Klux Klan overtly founded the motion picture industry and b) entertainment is America's most lucrative export. The KKK is also a secret organization so they won't divulge the extent of their influence in the US government or world affairs. The Klan also controls American propaganda so this is an unreliable source of information about them. The Civil Rights Movement, even, was a total sham. Hitler told me so and I gathered solid corroborating evidence to support his viewpoint. He wouldn't lie to me because I'm his great-great-great granddaughter by another of his alter egos.
Can we take a moment and stop and recognize the bone crushing stunts in the old movie footage here? And anyone else feel bad for the 2 horses with the wagon jumping in the lake at 2:10?
Japan used to have a subset of people very interested in cowboy culture as well. True story in my hometown in the deep south a sony plant was built in the early 80s. One of the things that ive heard clinched the deal on them choosing our city was a trip to a local line dancing country bar. They were apparently very interested in meeting cowboys and going to a saloon. Well we have cowboys but not the huge wide open plains of the west. The mayor and hosts decided to take them line dancing and they ate it up! Absolutely loved it and so the next day they were taken to a local western wear shop where the city bought them shirts, jeans, boots, and stetsons. Thats was it. Deal was sealed. Funny how wild west culture spread around the world.
YES WAS WORKING IN HOUSTON IN 1980 ,GIVE THE JAPANESE A STETSON HAT AND YOU WOULD THINK YOU GAVE THEM AN OIL WELL, COULD GET WHATEVER YOU WANTED. A TRUE FACT.
The Wild West wasn't any wilder than anyplace else. Even in the remote back country, after the Civil War most men knew how to use firearms and were comfortable with their use. People that got seriously out of line were dealt with swiftly and efficently.
Quite true. The late Western historian and novelist Louis Lamour (Who'd probably forgotten more about the Old West than any of us will ever know!) stated that a situation pictured in the movie "High Noon" where sheriff Gary Cooper is left to deal with an outlaw gang alone due to the cowardice of the townspeople would NEVER have happened. As Lamour put it "Two-thirds of the men in the West were Civil War veterans, well aquainted with firearms and violence. And those who weren't would have followed their example." Lamour would have agreed with you on your other point. "The Wild West wasn't THAT wild, you had more of a chance of dying from a rattlesnake bite than a gunshot. "
Gun control was actually much more prevalent in the Old West than in the U.S. of today. Gun fights were extremely rare, and even fistfights were very uncommon.
@@windalfalatar333 True, just to reference Lamour again as he put it "Most of the violence in the Old West took place in what we'd call 'the wrong side of the tracks' parts of towns and even there was uncommon."
To be fair: Karl May's novels are amazing and even today still a big part of many german childhood memories. Karl May himself would propably not be very happy to know that Hitler was a fan. He always wrote about the importance of being righteous, treating people with respect and keeping the killing to a minimum.
also, his "wild west" books (as popularized by european movies in the '60s) are just a fraction of his overall works. He has covered everything from (late mediaval) knigths, impoverished miners and weavers in germany (contemporary social issue at his time), the first non-aritstocrats breaking in to the officer's rank of the prussian army, at least two multigenerational sagas placed during/after the franco-prussian war (with the (german) heroes eventuaylly reclaiming miraculous wealth earned by ancestors traveling to the Americas but killed/imprisoned by fiendish enemies) Karl May himself is an interesting , if sometimes tragic historical figure - born to an impoverished family (so poor he went blind for a while from malnutritiuon .. his words) - imprisoned for two years after "borrowing" a pocket watch owned by a roommate (a traumatic experience showing up again and again in his work) - after that, he worked as an author/editor for a somewhat seedy publisher of "colportage" novels (printed on newsstock, published monthly, with multiple concurrent strories by different authors .. think montlhy comic anthologies of the 90s an 00s) The pulisher in question was repeatedly accused of peddling pornograpyh (by 1880 standards) and Karl May later disowned these works for having been "tampered with" by said publisher (google: Karl May Münchmayer Romane) As a german growing up in the 60s an 70s, i do have a soft spot for Karl May's work (with all its warts and blemishes) .. especially when compared to some other "widely-read author" who (also) based his fictional works on travel reports by other people without ever leaving his own home, and who (by cruel fate or pure coincidence) shares most of their name with poor Karl May .. I think their name was Karl M*rx or something like that ;-)
His books were quite a fairy tales, immediately recognizable after one has gained knowledge on the real Wild West. The books were exciting to read, yes, but: 1. Not every famous (and good) Wild west man was a German, and 2. Henry's rifle was completely different than the contraption he had concocted. 😀
@@rickreese5794 it still is kind of crazy to think about that there was even that sort of rumor going around but that's what happens when you don't really read the fine print
That's a story I'd never heard before. Thank you for the video! Mark, another interesting connection that Hitler might've had to the US great plains was in Nebraska, which is one state east of Colorado. That's where I live, and I've read news articles in the past that claimed he admired the Nebraska state capital building in Lincoln, and had plans to use it as some sort of administrative building were he to prevail over the US in the war. I don't know how accurate that is, but as I say, there have been articles published about it in local papers. The building is still in use today. Maybe you've already addressed this topic. Again, thanks for the video.
Oh please be less cringe. None of the Axis powers had any plans, ever, to invade the Western hemisphere. I blame that stupid *work of fiction* about the high castle. The Japanese, at worst, would have bombarded and closed the Panama Canal. Germany's war aim was to capture the food-producing areas of the Soviet Union so that Germany could not be starved out as in the last war. This isn't a secret. Germany would at worst have caused mischief in South America.
M.F.P is probable the only channel I watch on UA-cam where I click the "like" button before I even watch the video. This is yet another excellent video!
Germans were involved in settling areas of Arkansas in the late 19th & early 20th century. Stuttgart, Arkansas is one such place. Rice farming is very big in the area. One of the urban legends (I guess rural legend would be more accurate) has a family with the last name Goering owning a rice farm and the patriarch being taken off his tractor and taken away by G-men during the war and never returning. No real evidence to support but people like to make up stories I suppose.
Lots of German-descent people in South Australia, too; which is why the Barossa Valley makes such great wines. Hahndorf is one of the small towns near Adelaide.
Indeed Riceland Foods is a major business in Stuttgart, Arkansas. As a completely irrelevant fact. Stuttgart, Arkansas is also the home of the World Duck Calling Contest!
I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't confuse Baron Walter von Richthofen ranch and land history with this as well. Not to mention Mount Richthofen which was named after Ferdinand von Richthofen. Once a small confused story hits a larger newspaper and they find other connections in their archives they build a story to sell newspaper. I think Stalin shared Hitler's like of the west.

I think in an alternative world Hitler could have been a person that is well liked. When hearing stories about him glimpses of humanity shine through.
A good percentage of central east Texas, around San Antonio, was settled by Germans and for a time, Texas German was spoken till WWII broke out and the language slowly fell out of popularity with Americans....
Texasdeutsch was still spoken until recently. Germans considered it a horror on level with French listening to Quebecois or Cajun French. "Be silent and just speak Englisch please."
One church in Chicago at Lincoln Belmont Ashland held German language mass until the late 1960s as that had been primarily German immigrants. Spanish has been spoken in that area since the 1970s.
The high concentration of Germans in Texas may also explain why the state has enough scientific talent to attract the likes of Elon Musk. Whose grandfather was himself Germany's most accomplished rocket scientist. However people do adapt to their environment over time. The quality of Texas' scientific prowess has inevitably degraded to meet Southern standards. Yay! Yaaaay!
I grew up reading the ongoing (then) wildly popular _Tex;_ an Italian comic set in America's wild West, which I've learned is published in other languages all over the world. The Western genre is its own mythical category, and I'm not at all surprised the Austrian postcard painter liked stories set in the American wild West.
So interesting there must be so many secrets we simply don't know, personally I think the blighter escaped from Berlin to south America at the end of the war and lived his life out there.
Somewhere in An Alternate reality in The Great Planes. "Howdy sheriff, what's you name?" "-Hitler, Dolph Hitler." "-Now y'all behave in my county ,you hear?"
A cool history fact is that a dude was originally a derogatory slang by people in the west for city folk who came to see the west and essentially "play cowboys" but a cool dude was someone who was actually good at riding horses, shooting and not arrogant about it. A second cool history fact is that Hitler wasn't a cool dude he was an "absolute bastard". A term still in use to this day.
It was something of a trope with both Hitler and Stalin, Hitler had his cowboy books, Stalin late nights with his (like it or not they stay too) fellow leading Soviets, John Ford cowboy movies. Hitler’s fascination with the USA led to some very strange though unsurprising decisions. Considering in the wake of Pearl Harbor whether to declare war on America, he went to his Foreign Affairs head, Von Ribbentrop. On the strength of him doing some commercial business between the wars. Ribbentrop assured Hitler that doing so would not be a near term threat to Germany, after all, Roosevelt’s America was dominated (his words) by ‘Jews and Negros’, was morally degenerate, so the US would be unable to deploy significant forces across the Atlantic until around 1970. 11 months later, Operation Torch.
Rancher Hitler: First, we take Kit Carson, then Colorado Springs. Next, a two-pronged attach to envelop Denver and Boulder! Reporter: Why Boulder? Rancher Hitler: Because that's were the Communists are!
My Grandmother and her siblings and parents immigrated from Vienna, in 1912. They moved to Wisconsin and had a farm there. If Hitler was interested in the American wild west, eastern Colorado wasn't very wild. It seemed very barren and uninteresting, when I first saw it, in the 1970s. And I just recently found out my ancestors and Hitler, were from Vienna. I found out when I went to Germany, on vacation.
My Father fought in WWII and saw Buchenwald at end of the war. He was born on a ranch in Arizona. After much thought the Nazi party would have come into existence even without Hitler and most likely would have been more successful. Fortunately that didn’t happen.
I remember Hitlers love of Carl May books in a book I read years ago. It is interesting that Hitler had this fascination of the American west and the romantic portrayal of it. This make me wonder if Hitler had chosen to escape to Argentina, could he have lived out the western fantasy he so loved? Argentina's high plains have been known for the ranching and farming that took place after the region was settle following the War of the Desert in the 1880s. Makes you think, if a few books had been about the settling of the South American west, Hitler may have taken the chance to ride off into the sunset with Eva in tow.
Hitler didn't drink, didn't smoke, was a vegan and was kind to animals and children. Seems like he would have made a good neighbor in the American West.
He also had a nephew in the U.S. Navy. Adolf Hitler's nephew served in the US Navy in World War Two. William P. Hitler was sworn in on March 6, 1944 and went on to serve for three years as a pharmacist's mate receiving a Purple Heart medal for a wound he suffered. He received a shrapnel wound in the leg.
I gather AH had a keen interest in showbiz gossip about the movie stars of his time as well. He was as is generally well known a big fan of the cinema, having the latest Hollywood and German films sent for his viewing at the Berghof.
@@asya9493can you clarify this how would one find those idioms in the English version? If it’s not possible than would be it be best to read the German version?

Pretty sure Stalin loved westerns too. Can you imagine the two of them discussing their favorite cowboy films?

Kinda like naught times naught is naught!
15 sections isn't a big cattle ranch when each cow - calf pair needs a section of sparse grass to live for a year. Grazing rates vary, some ranches can carry a pair to every 50 or 100 acres.
Ranches aren't measured in acres, they're measured in sections as mentioned. A large ranch would be hundreds of sections,but grazing rates haven't changed much from the 1950s to now. One cow has to eat the same amount of calories to raise one calf same as then.
Karl May alone is worth reading up on. Guy wrote almost 100 novels and story collections and all of them are complete fabrications, sold as stuff that really happened to him. He traveled through north and south america, turkey, persia, arabia, north africa - that is on paper. He never left central Europe. And up until the 70s/80s, he was super popular here. There's still a live action theater that does shows based on his wild west novels and his two most well known characters, the Apache Winnetou and his alter ego "Old Shatterhand" are household names still with the older population. I made sure to grab all of my father's collection of his works. My generation (1980) still grew up with them, but we definitely were the last. But again, do read up on Karl May.
In my youth i've read a lot of 'm ; must still own some somewhere. But my kids .. they unfortunately never got the affection to books as I did. Maybe when they get older.
A German friend presented me with a copy of Karl May's book, in exchange, I gave them a copy of " Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey. Both were enjoyed very much.
Thank you for helping me understand a small part of a scene from the movie Inglorious Basterds. They Apache chief and Shatterhand are mentioned and well recognized by the Germans present, I'd never heard of them.
1980 kids still read Winnetou and Old Shatterhand? Wow 🙂

As an American that lives on the High Plains of NE Colorado, surrounded by grasses, corn, sorghum, alfalfa and cattle, and live within a stones throw of the Sand Creek Massacre Historic Site and other less advertised Indian Wars Sites, and less than an hour North of the alleged land, I don't blame him for being fascinated with the area.
Lot of German surnames in the area for sure.

Awesome Job on the video. I also appreciated the way you said "and now a word from our sponsors" while you were showing the old footage, it felt right!
I would say that Karl May's westerns are still popular in Germany. My German wife, born in 1959, is a BIG fan of the books with the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, the main protagonists in May's westerns. The books were made into films and the sets were in Croatia and the Plitvice National Park which many Germans flocked to visit. My wife still has very fond memories of those films.

The KKK founded the motion picture industry which is headquartered in Cali. Hitler is also a vampire who's still alive and maintains a residence there. His home is worth over $10 million and he has more of them scattered around the world. However he's always had a distinct affinity for California. When he was the Russian mystic Rasputin he evacuated his Russian daughter Maria to California before he ruined the country. Plus in college I was acquainted by yet another of his descendants. Also from California.
@@evelynzlon9492 ….what…?
@mraaronhd Literally the dry facts are that a) the Ku Klux Klan overtly founded the motion picture industry and b) entertainment is America's most lucrative export. The KKK is also a secret organization so they won't divulge the extent of their influence in the US government or world affairs. The Klan also controls American propaganda so this is an unreliable source of information about them. The Civil Rights Movement, even, was a total sham. Hitler told me so and I gathered solid corroborating evidence to support his viewpoint. He wouldn't lie to me because I'm his great-great-great granddaughter by another of his alter egos.
Wow. That intro tune caught me off guard lol

Japan used to have a subset of people very interested in cowboy culture as well. True story in my hometown in the deep south a sony plant was built in the early 80s. One of the things that ive heard clinched the deal on them choosing our city was a trip to a local line dancing country bar. They were apparently very interested in meeting cowboys and going to a saloon. Well we have cowboys but not the huge wide open plains of the west. The mayor and hosts decided to take them line dancing and they ate it up! Absolutely loved it and so the next day they were taken to a local western wear shop where the city bought them shirts, jeans, boots, and stetsons. Thats was it. Deal was sealed. Funny how wild west culture spread around the world.
YES WAS WORKING IN HOUSTON IN 1980 ,GIVE THE JAPANESE A STETSON HAT AND YOU WOULD THINK YOU GAVE THEM AN OIL WELL, COULD GET WHATEVER YOU WANTED. A TRUE FACT.
The Wild West wasn't any wilder than anyplace else. Even in the remote back country, after the Civil War most men knew how to use firearms and were comfortable with their use. People that got seriously out of line were dealt with swiftly and efficently.
Quite true. The late Western historian and novelist Louis Lamour (Who'd probably forgotten more about the Old West than any of us will ever know!) stated that a situation pictured in the movie "High Noon" where sheriff Gary Cooper is left to deal with an outlaw gang alone due to the cowardice of the townspeople would NEVER have happened. As Lamour put it "Two-thirds of the men in the West were Civil War veterans, well aquainted with firearms and violence. And those who weren't would have followed their example."
Lamour would have agreed with you on your other point. "The Wild West wasn't THAT wild, you had more of a chance of dying from a rattlesnake bite than a gunshot. "
Gun control was actually much more prevalent in the Old West than in the U.S. of today. Gun fights were extremely rare, and even fistfights were very uncommon.
@@windalfalatar333 True, just to reference Lamour again as he put it "Most of the violence in the Old West took place in what we'd call 'the wrong side of the tracks' parts of towns and even there was uncommon."
To be fair: Karl May's novels are amazing and even today still a big part of many german childhood memories.
Karl May himself would propably not be very happy to know that Hitler was a fan. He always wrote about the importance of being righteous, treating people with respect and keeping the killing to a minimum.
also, his "wild west" books (as popularized by european movies in the '60s) are just a fraction of his overall works. He has covered everything from (late mediaval) knigths, impoverished miners and weavers in germany (contemporary social issue at his time), the first non-aritstocrats breaking in to the officer's rank of the prussian army, at least two multigenerational sagas placed during/after the franco-prussian war (with the (german) heroes eventuaylly reclaiming miraculous wealth earned by ancestors traveling to the Americas but killed/imprisoned by fiendish enemies)
Karl May himself is an interesting , if sometimes tragic historical figure
- born to an impoverished family (so poor he went blind for a while from malnutritiuon .. his words)
- imprisoned for two years after "borrowing" a pocket watch owned by a roommate
(a traumatic experience showing up again and again in his work)
- after that, he worked as an author/editor for a somewhat seedy publisher of "colportage" novels
(printed on newsstock, published monthly, with multiple concurrent strories by different authors
.. think montlhy comic anthologies of the 90s an 00s)
The pulisher in question was repeatedly accused of peddling pornograpyh (by 1880 standards)
and Karl May later disowned these works for having been "tampered with" by said publisher
(google: Karl May Münchmayer Romane)
As a german growing up in the 60s an 70s, i do have a soft spot for Karl May's work (with all its warts and blemishes)
.. especially when compared to some other "widely-read author" who (also) based his fictional works on travel reports by other people without ever leaving his own home, and who (by cruel fate or pure coincidence) shares most of their name with poor Karl May .. I think their name was Karl M*rx or something like that ;-)
Not to forget that May promoted christianity, and defended it against Islam in his Orient novels
@@xwormwood He was also a very gifted con-artist before beeing successful. Not to smear his legacy, but he wasn't a saint.
What if he would have liked him?
His books were quite a fairy tales, immediately recognizable after one has gained knowledge on the real Wild West. The books were exciting to read, yes, but:
1. Not every famous (and good) Wild west man was a German, and
2. Henry's rifle was completely different than the contraption he had concocted. 😀

Mark, another interesting connection that Hitler might've had to the US great plains was in Nebraska, which is one state east of Colorado. That's where I live, and I've read news articles in the past that claimed he admired the Nebraska state capital building in Lincoln, and had plans to use it as some sort of administrative building were he to prevail over the US in the war. I don't know how accurate that is, but as I say, there have been articles published about it in local papers. The building is still in use today. Maybe you've already addressed this topic. Again, thanks for the video.
Oh please be less cringe. None of the Axis powers had any plans, ever, to invade the Western hemisphere. I blame that stupid *work of fiction* about the high castle. The Japanese, at worst, would have bombarded and closed the Panama Canal. Germany's war aim was to capture the food-producing areas of the Soviet Union so that Germany could not be starved out as in the last war. This isn't a secret. Germany would at worst have caused mischief in South America.
So, he wasn't in Argentina but in Colorado...
Why not?
Most likely buried in Argentina.
@@bj9zq difficult to believe. But some people still see Elvis hanging around.

I read accounts from citizens in Argentina and they are so surprised that America is so clueless that Hitler went there in May, 1945.

Germans were involved in settling areas of Arkansas in the late 19th & early 20th century. Stuttgart, Arkansas is one such place. Rice farming is very big in the area. One of the urban legends (I guess rural legend would be more accurate) has a family with the last name Goering owning a rice farm and the patriarch being taken off his tractor and taken away by G-men during the war and never returning. No real evidence to support but people like to make up stories I suppose.
@@gern7535 Many Germans in Texas, too. Fredericksburg was a German settlement.

I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't confuse Baron Walter von Richthofen ranch and land history with this as well. Not to mention Mount Richthofen which was named after Ferdinand von Richthofen.

Meanwhile in an alternate universe, history channel documentary:
Narrator: In 1907 an 18 year old Austrian immigrant called Adolf “the kraut kid” Hitler joined the Arizona Rangers. He quickly made a name for himself when he shot and killed a fellow immigrant and bank robber, Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili. Or as he was known to his fellow outlaws, Joe Steel.
2 hours later
Narrator: After the brutal lynching of a Jewish stagecoach driver in 1911, the once celebrated law man met his end at the gallows.
few decades later his charcoal sketches of the Gila mountains, his fellow rangers & the suspects they'd captured sold for surprising amounts in an auction of the chicken farmer Henry Himmler's estate.

A good percentage of central east Texas, around San Antonio, was settled by Germans and for a time, Texas German was spoken till WWII broke out and the language slowly fell out of popularity with Americans....
Texasdeutsch was still spoken until recently. Germans considered it a horror on level with French listening to Quebecois or Cajun French. "Be silent and just speak Englisch please."
One church in Chicago at Lincoln Belmont Ashland held German language mass until the late 1960s as that had been primarily German immigrants.
Spanish has been spoken in that area since the 1970s.
My old boss still has living grandparents born in east central Texas and literally speak only German. Theyre ranchers
In Fredericksburg I talked to a lady in James Avery.. when we left I told her Auf Wiedersehen 😂
The high concentration of Germans in Texas may also explain why the state has enough scientific talent to attract the likes of Elon Musk. Whose grandfather was himself Germany's most accomplished rocket scientist. However people do adapt to their environment over time. The quality of Texas' scientific prowess has inevitably degraded to meet Southern standards. Yay! Yaaaay!

It was something of a trope with both Hitler and Stalin, Hitler had his cowboy books, Stalin late nights with his (like it or not they stay too) fellow leading Soviets, John Ford cowboy movies.
Hitler’s fascination with the USA led to some very strange though unsurprising decisions. Considering in the wake of Pearl Harbor whether to declare war on America, he went to his Foreign Affairs head, Von Ribbentrop. On the strength of him doing some commercial business between the wars.
Ribbentrop assured Hitler that doing so would not be a near term threat to Germany, after all, Roosevelt’s America was dominated (his words) by ‘Jews and Negros’, was morally degenerate, so the US would be unable to deploy significant forces across the Atlantic until around 1970.

Like my Dad used to say "Why would anyone want to fight us in a war? The whole country is up for sale and you do not have to be a citizen to buy it."
My Grandmother and her siblings and parents immigrated from Vienna, in 1912. They moved to Wisconsin and had a farm there. If Hitler was interested in the American wild west, eastern Colorado wasn't very wild. It seemed very barren and uninteresting, when I first saw it, in the 1970s. And I just recently found out my ancestors and Hitler, were from Vienna. I found out when I went to Germany, on vacation.

I remember Hitlers love of Carl May books in a book I read years ago. It is interesting that Hitler had this fascination of the American west and the romantic portrayal of it. This make me wonder if Hitler had chosen to escape to Argentina, could he have lived out the western fantasy he so loved? Argentina's high plains have been known for the ranching and farming that took place after the region was settle following the War of the Desert in the 1880s. Makes you think, if a few books had been about the settling of the South American west, Hitler may have taken the chance to ride off into the sunset with Eva in tow.
I guess they formed the image of "Liebensraum" he desired so much?
