The Year Is 1933

The Year Is

It's 1933, a quiet year, where the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party appoints a little known man called Adolf Hitler as their leader, and everyone lived happily ever after, meanwhile British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill makes his first speech warning of the dangers of German rearmament, Scientist and fellow genius Albert Einstein arrives in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany, the first alleged modern sighting of the Scottish Loch Ness Monster occurs, Franklin D. Roosevelt is sworn in as president of the United States, Gieuseppe Zangara attempts to assassinate Roosevelt.

Also we are collectively mourning the passing of rapper Coolio, and Red has more very funny stories from growing up in Devon.
