 Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini meet for the first time, Venice 1934.
 
RealAudio: "He didn't
think much of Hitler..." 
 
 
"When Hitler and Mussolini met on June 13, 1934, in Venice, Mussolini was the big shot. It was the first meeting between the two dictators, and the last time Hitler appeared in mufti, before taking full power. Two months later, Hitler became the Fuhrer of the Third Reich."
