Some of you may be too young to remember Clark Gable,but those same people no doubt know who Adolf Hitler was. What's the connection,you might ask? Hitler,along with his other obsessions loved Hollywood movies,and had movies smuggled into Germany to be shown in his private theater. Clark Gable represented the perfect male specimen in Hitler's opinion both physically and with his no-nonsense,tough guy attitude. When Hitler discovered Gable had enlisted and had been transferred to England he offered an enormous reward for Gable's capture and delivery unharmed to Hitler. Gable's plane was never shot down,but it did receive multiple bullet holes. Gable was awarded the Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross,then shipped home in 1943. Curses,foiled again!
