Although Nazi German would end up declaring war on America, in the 1930s, the Americans were not seen as ideological enemies, but rather as a source of inspiration. In Mein Kampf, Hitler cited the U.S. approvingly as the only greta power to have made real "progress" on the question of race. 3/n

It's easy enough to walk past Devon hedge banks covered in moss and forget that they were made by people, until the moss parts and you see the stone-facing peeping out like exposed bones.
Mature beech tree with a thick, moss-covered trunk and a long, mossy limb reaching out to the right, rooted in a moss-covered bank faced with stone with scattered ferns and fallen copper leaves. Misty fields, a wire fence and a wooden gate rail fade into the pale fog behind.
