Sir Reresby Sitwell!

This is coolbert:

Back to the Hitler stuff. There IS an never ending interest, for whatever reason, in all things Hitler. Now with more:

"Bizarre exhibition at the spiritual home of British eccentricity"

"Sir Reresby Sitwell, 7th Baronet . . . a bizarre exhibition of wartime memorabilia."

An exhibition of Hitler memorabilia, and much more, all due to the courtesy of the British eccentric [??], Sir Reresby Sitwell!:

Items on display to include:

* "Eva Braun's nightdress . . . embroidered with tiny Nazi swastikas"

* "Field Marshal Montgomery's pyjamas"

* "Hitler's pocket diary"

* "various extracts from the boudoir of his mistress, Eva Braun."



The British, for whatever reason, produce more than their share of persons best described as eccentrics! This is so in the military sphere as well as in civilian life. I am especially thinking of T.E. Lawrence, Orde Wingate, etc. Military officers, recognized and considered to be "odd-types" by their brother officers, but generally tolerated! Eccentrics quite often also of marked ability and skill, having charisma, dash, elan', etc.

ODD-TYPES NOT MEAN OR BAD BUT MERELY STRANGE! ECCENTRICITIES NOT NECESSARILY PERVERSE BUT JUST DIFFERENT!!
