WHAT IF THE MILK TRUCK HAD WON?

While rummaging through negative archives the other afternoon we came upon the following article in the Munchener Post  January 26, 1920:

Decorated World War I Veteran Miraculously Survives Head-On with Milk Truck

(Munich, Germany) An Austrian man, Adolph Hitler, 31, miraculously survived a head-on collision with a speeding ice cream truck on Bundesautebahn-Arbeitsschlacht  Street in downtown Munich this afternoon.

Herr Hitler, who was on foot at the time of the accident, was taken to a local hospital and released within the hour with a mild headache.

The driver of the milk truck was uninjured and cited for reckless driving and attempted genocide.

Bystanders agreed that it was astonishing for a human to survive such a blow. “He should have been killed,” said one woman.

“Astonishing!” said another, according to the Wienermarct Journal, reporting the incident from Vienna.
