Book Discussion | Lucky: Hitler's Big Mistakes


Adolf Hitler’s Great War military experiences in no way qualified him for supreme command. Yet by July 1940, under his personal leadership the Third Reich’s armed forces had defeated Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and France. The invasion of Great Britain was a distinct reality following Dunkirk. Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania had become allies along with the acquiescent military powers of Mussolini’s Italy and Franco’s Spain. These achievements prompted Field Marshal Willem Keitel, the Wehrmacht’s Chief of Staff, to pronounce Hitler to be ‘the Greatest Commander of all time’. Storm clouds were gathering, most notably the disastrous decision to tear up the treaty with the Soviet Union and launch Operation Barbarossa in 1941. As described in Paul Ballard-Whyte's meticulously researched and highly readable book, Hitler’s blind ideology, racist hatred and single-mindedness led him and his allies inexorably to devastating defeat. How far was it good luck that gave Hitler his sensational early political and military successes? Certainly fortune played a major role in his survival from many assassination attempts and sex scandals. The author concludes, from 1941 onwards, the Fuhrer’s downfall was entirely attributable to military misjudgments that he alone made. Lucky: Hitler’s Big Mistakes exposes the enigmatic Dictator for what he really was – incredibly lucky and militarily incompetent.

Screening | The Short-Sighted Cyclist (1907), Robinet Too Much Love By His Wife (1912), and More: Silent Films


Marcel Perez is one of the best, lesser known comedians of the silent film era. Part of the first generation of screen clowns, his career began in 1900 and flourished until 1928. After helping create the ground rules for film comedy in Europe, he moved to the U.S. and continued to refine the genre. Starring, writing and directing over 200 short comedies, he was, along with Max Linder, one of the few direct links between European and American silent comedy. This tribute to Perez begins in Italy in 1907 with The Short-Sighted Cyclist, and continues through Robinet Too Much Love By His Wife(1912), Some Hero (1916), Oh! What A Day (1918) to end up in Yonkers in 1920 for Sweet Daddy. Screenings feature piano by MoMA's Ben Model, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa.
