        'fraid that's only too genuine. Hitler's fanatical enthusiasm for
    Wagner began in adolescence, and continued through to his last days on
    earth, which were filled with a grammophone version of Götterdämmerung. Of
    late, the conviction has arisen that, since Wagner was Hitler's favourite
    composer, then Hitler must be Wagner's favourite politician. After all, as
    elementary logic teaches (some of) us, if fire causes smoke, then smoke
    must cause fire, too.
