Pawtucket Times, October 16, 1939
When did the Onion start publication?
So he basically invented the punch buggy game by playing this game and ordering the building of volkswagens
After reading Ohler's Blitzed there is no way this wasn't done high on opiates and anphetamines.
Is that a real article? People like to photoshop things these days...
Leave it to Hitler?

And people at the time that was published also had plenty of reasons to portray Hitler as petty, or ridiculous, or a Disney cartoon character. It's quite possibly a bit of vintage propaganda.

And sure to be a major motion picture one day. Remember your friends on GRM when you come into your fortune

From the docs I've watched, of course. He basically was injected with meth all day to be up, then shot up with a bunch downers to be able to go to bed at night.
"It's Springtime for Hitler and Germany. ba dump ba dump. Winter for Poland and France..."
Looks like the news media did it did it back then too.
Since it is October 1939, I would tend to lean toward propaganda or fake (seems very strange). If it was before Sept 1st (Germany's invasion of Poland) I would say maybe just a "cute" story (still very strange).
The US was officially neutral at that time, but heavily favored (and secretly helped) the allies.
It honestly seems to way to modern (slug Bug) to be true, but you never know, some of these "games" go way back.
Pretty sure no one ever got to smack Hitler, so the game was probably only fun for him.
