Paul,
Of all the interpretations of the "Der Ring des Nibelungen" I have never heard the ring described as an atomic bomb. So to say Hitler died because he did not understand that, is to understate that he was a bit off the mark. Had the poem stayed with merely being a humorous interpretation of Hitler's confounding interpretation of the myth by reinterpreting it in terms of atomics and Jews it could have had good comic value (which maybe the writer meant), however, it seems to lose it humorous tone towards the end and thus it lost me.
Best,
dale

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
