@contrex,
And Chancellor Hitler responded, "Schiessen in die hosen, auf mittsebegehen, bitte? Rauchen oder nicht rauchen. Ein Zuhörer zum anderen: Wie lang redet der Bundeskanzler jetzt schon?" Antwort: "Eine halbe Stunde." Zuhörer: "Und worüber redet er?" Antwort: "Das sagt er nicht!"

They had a very special rapport. Until April, 43.
