HE SAW ADOLF CRY.
Sir Hugh Walpole, the novelist, who saw Hitler in tears, died on June Ist, 1941, at his Lakeland home near Keswick, aged 57. He met Hitler at Bayreuth in 1924, soon after the Munich prison episode. “I remember that he cried,” wrote Sir Hugh, “and that I felt his passion for Germany so sincere that it seemed to burn through his ugly boots into the ground, and that I liked him and thought him, in every way, tenth rate.” Walpole began writing when six, and at nine he wrote and illustrated a story of smuggling.
