Travelers in the Third ReichTheir words
And then lastly, a book I read uh very recently, this last few days, uh is called um Travelers in the Third Reich by Julia Boyd. And what she did is she found letters, journals, other contemporary accounts of basically British and Americans visiting Nazi Germany. And and so what were their impressions? Did they see and you know, spoiler, way too many of them did not see how bad this is going to be or were sympathetic.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
