November 1938 British Magazine Homes & GardensIn addition to the report above is an article from the November 1938 British magazine Homes & Gardens, titled "Hitler's Mountain Home." The article is both a puff piece and a disturbing act of overlooking the obvious. From the article, "Hitler's widowed sister, Frau Angela Raubal, kept house for him on a 'peasant' scale. Then, as his famous book, Mein Kampf ('My Struggle') became a best-seller of astonishing power (4,500,000 copies of it have been sold), Hitler began to think of replacing that humble shack by a house and garden of suitable scope."
The issue date is November 1938, the pogrom known as Kristallnacht began on November 9, 1938.
