I should add: A few years ago now, when on the SD Humanities Council, I was in Hill City for its film festival. A woman approached me about her and some others' working on republishing Karl May here in the US. She gave me a free copy of one of the novels. I've read a good bit about May over the years, of course, but none of his writings--including, still, the one she gave me, though I really need to get to it. I was aware of Hitler's love for them and other Western novels, as well as their popular in the totalitarian USSR.
