Hitler's Moment of Greatest Triumph
France has surrendered and Hitler has achieved in less than two months what Germany could not accomplish in the 4 years of WW1. In this photo he is basking in the total adoration of an entire nation. Had he stopped there, he would have been considered one of Germany's greatest leaders. But he couldn't stop there. Hitler was a gambler and he would continue making bigger and bigger bets until he lost.
