He [Hitler] comes in and gives me the Nazi salute. I gave him a good, old-fashioned Missouri handshake. Once more Hitler goes for the jugular vein. He gets ahold of my fanny and he begins to squeeze and pinch and hug me up. And he said, "You're a true Aryan type. You should be running for Germany." So after he gave me the once-over and a full massage, he asked me if I'd like to spend the weekend in Berchtesgaden.
