and it's pretty cool to look at

http://archive.timesonline.co.uk/tol/archive/

for example:

1933: Herr Hitler has reached the summit of his ambition. Yesterday the long resistance of President Hindenburg to his claim upon the Chancellorship gave way before the news that Herr Von Papen saw no chance of the formation of a government with a Parliamentary majority behind it.

1938: The Czech evacuation and the German occupation will begin to- morrow, and will be completed by October 10 in stages which are stipulated in the agreement. The agreement, which it may be hoped banishes the war clouds which were so low over Europe 24 hours ago, reads as follows:- AGREEMENT BETWEEN GERMANY, GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND ITALY, CON-CLUDED IN MUNICH ON SEPTEMBER 29, 1938.

oh history, you were so blind!

For some reason I just got the mental image of Hitler putting some spectacles on and sitting down to browse what the London Times has posted about him on the internet.

Before checking how many replies his thread on Lebensraum had.
