Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Long-Lasting 'Gift'.

As World War II approached, coverage of the Lindberghs took another turn, as Charles Lindbergh offered generally admiring reports on Nazi Germany's development of the airplane. As the full import of Hitler's designs became clear, critics decried Lindbergh as a Nazi apologist

As if Lindbergh wasn't.

I remember you and I had an intense argument about Lindberg about 20 years ago. I was
embarrassed because I later read that Lindberg was pretty well established anti-semite. I will accept that but
Nazi apologist might be going to far. As I recall he tried to enlist in the armed services during
WW II but was blackballed by the Roosevelt administration.

Not everyone who advised against getting into the European war was a Nazi apologist. I wouldn't even say that
Ramsey Clark is a Baathist apologist...he's just a fool and maybe not mentally stable. I'm not saying Lindberg was
a fool. Menken, even Al Smith was reluctant to pursue defending Britain. Roosevelt was right but maybe he had better intelligence
than those other guys.
