Dear Terry,
No harm done in anglicising Adolf - except that the custom among historians is to anglicise the (first) names of kings, emperors
and popes : perhaps too great an honour for "that man".
On a more serious note :
I was struck when recently reading the late Sir Martin's masterpiece, _ In Search of Churchill_ (by the way, many thanks to the
List Members who wrote it was priority reading - they were absolutely right) that he said why he had rejected that world-famous
portrait in favour of a warmer one (albeit also by Karsh at the same session) for the photograph on his dust cover. Was he
influenced by Clementine's opinion (which he no doubt knew) ? - that will remain forever an interesting question.
Best,
A.C.

OOPS!
Before someone comments - of course it should be Adolf.

We clearly know the opinion of Winston and Clementine on the Graham Sutherland painting, but what was their opinion of the
“Roaring Lion” photograph by Yousuf Karsh?
While to the best of my knowledge Winston Churchill is not on record as having given an opinion, we do have his reaction by way of
Clementine. As I said in my book (take every opportunity!) on Churchill & Mackenzie King, the diary of King of May 6, 1944
recorded a conversation with Clementine. “She (Clementine) does not like the Karsh picture, neither does Churchill himself. She
said ‘He really has a more playful expression about his mouth.’”
Now I wonder if Adolph Hitler ever commented on it!
