Charles Lindbergh

I'm watching an Arte documentary filled with archival film. Lindbergh was so charming and good looking when he first became an international celebrity. Yes we know he was a Nazi sympathizer for too long, but he somewhat redeemed himself during the WWII, as a civilian (Roosevelt refused to reinstate Lindbergh as a pilot.)

Well, was he sex on a stick, or what? BDF?

Gotta give him credit for that baby thing.

Meh.

He was not only a nazi sympathizer but was most likely directly involved in the kidnapping of his baby. I watched a documentary on it some time ago where they presented a strong case that he hired men to do it as he was a eugenicist and deeply disgusted at his mentally and/or physically handicapped baby.

He married a socially prominent heiress, so he certainly had something.

It was his banker's daughter. A partner at JP Morgan.

OP - there's no point in my reading beyond "he was a Nazi sympathizer for too long."

He and his blue-stocking wife were virgins when they got married.

Weirdly, he looked a lot like Amelia Earhart.

Defarto's signature topic: nazis. No mystery about the OP.

That’s right, R11 - there’s no mystery that OP is a decent human being.

Lindbergh was a racist, Nazi sympathizer.

The kidnapping and death of his baby was known as The Trial Of The Century. To this day there is some speculation that the wrong man was executed for this hideous crime.
