Julia: Dad, was Hitler really short?To be fair, there was some context for this brief discussion that we had in the car this evening on the way home from a flute lesson. Julia was telling me that she thought today was an anniversary for something and I told her it was the day Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese back in 1941. That got us into a brief discussion of how the attack led the US into World War II, which was fought against the Germans, who were led by one Adolf Hitler, yada yada yada.
Me: Actually, I'm not sure. I don't think he was unusually short.
Julia: Oh wait, I'm thinking of Sarkozy.
So that explains the Hitler question -- but I'm still trying to see how she went from there to Sarko?

Sounds like a Mel Brooks musical
Maybe it is all the negative press about Sarkozy and strikes over changes to retirement plans in France.
Hitler was 5 feet 9 inches and weighed 150 pounds.
He committed suicide the day my youngest brother Paul was born. If you had tried to get a word in while in Paul's company, you would understand that.
