I must disagree with the creator of Noble Oleg. Hitler is an important
historical figure who is the epitomy of tyranny. In a game in which many
wish to be tyrants but wish also to look as if they're not, the comparison
is quite apt. Munich has defined American foreign relations since it
happened. In fact, I don't see how we can play this game & _not_ think of
Hitler. ;)
