Hitler loved tariffs. And 10 days after taking power, imposed the highest tariffs Germany had ever seen. #hitler100days #hitler #100dayshitler #retropolis #tariffs #historymatters

Feb. 9, 1925 — Even #100yearsagotoday, Washington had false spring and The Washington Post ran the obligatory weather story with feature photos. The surprise here, however, is that it was NOT written by @martin.weil #retropolis #history #dchistory

Hitler had a Project 25, or the "25-Punkte-Programm". It was Nazi party policy for a decade, but newspapers began looking at it during Hitler's first 100 days and wondering if it would be a blueprint for what was to come... #Hitler100days #historymatters #history #retropolis

Feb. 8, 1925 - Air quality was rough when this reader (later USAF scientist) wrote about DC’s hazy sky #100yearsagotoday . Big factor was CapHill power plant that burned tons of coal thanks to coal state pols (Mitch) until Pelosi 2009 showdown brought cleaner fuel. #retropolis

Feb. 7, 1925 - This dapper Texan was terrified #100yearsagotoday that folks back home would find out it's not a 10-gallon hat that he's wearing in the big city. What happens in Washington stays in Washington? #retropolis #historymatters #texas #tophat

The Morning Pioneer in North Dakota gasped at the level of censorship Hitler imposed just 7 days after taking power, Feb. 6, 1933. #100daysHitler #historymatters #retropolis

Barely a week after Hitler came to power, the world noticed the inconsistency in his messaging: He said he’s for the masses, but is surrounded by industrialists, princes and barons. #Hitler100days #Hitler #historymatters Feb. 6, 1933

Six days after Hitler took power, the world worried about his appointments, namely industrialists with new power who see him as a figurehead. Neighboring countries express concern. The Springfield (Mass.) Sunday Union and Republican. Feb. 5, 1933 #hitler100days #historymatters

Feb. 5, 1925 - Jewel-swiping safe crackers gave us a good word #100yearsagotoday. I think we need to bring "yeggs" back. Cause we're running out of words to describe all the "yeggmen" running around Washington offices these days... #retropolis #ushistory

“Only a few years ago Hitler promised that heads would roll upon the ground when he came into power. He has been a little less articulate ...within the last few days, but he remains a man who believes that debate can be settled by decapitation.” #Hitler100days #history

Feb. 4, 1925 - The President #100yearsagotoday said no thanks to broadcasting himself directly to the American people via radio, explaining that newspapers are “efficient in their presentation of government problems.” Thank you, sir! #retropolis #dchistory #ushistory

The first 100 days of a presidency, year, etc are important to us. I just interviewed a professor who wrote a book about Hitler’s first 100 days. So right now, looking at news stories from those days. This is London Daily Herald 2 days after Hitler took Power. #Hitler100days

Feb. 3, 1925 - The “foolish houses” being built #100yearsagotoday were ill-designed for living, with kitchens far from dining rooms and impractical coal shoots, according to Alice M. Couper’s letter to the editor urging architects to include women in the design process. DEI?
