It was 85 years ago today that the 1936 Summer Olympic Games opened in Berlin, Germany the emerging capital of a supposedly 1000 year Third Reich.
Fuhrer Adolf Hitler presided over the opening ceremony to turn it into a centerpiece for Nazi propaganda and German supremacy.
Winston Churchill (then a backbench Bitish MP) had sent over a female British secret agent Erica Munro to try to seduce Hitler at the games opening ceremony (the final result of this encounter Churchill had hoped would be Der Fuhrer drinking a heavily laced poisoned cup of tea whereupon the claws of the Valkyries would deliver old Adolf into the jaws of Cerberus).
A 1930s rare colour photograph of British secret agent Erica Munro as she looked and the way she was dressed at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games opening ceremony in Berlin, Germany.
The plot did not come to pass.
The seduction of Adolf Hitler failed.
Winston Churchill looked at the photograph of Erica Munro as news reached him of the failed seduction attempt.
"How is it possible that my plan failed?" Churchill asked his wife Clementine as he looked at the photograph, "You don't suppose that old Adolf is a puffter and a brown hatter do you?".
"Well," Clementine remarked wryly, "Judging from the way your umbrella is standing at the moment, we know you certainly aren't."
