What to Do With 'itler

Lord Beaverbrook's Evening Standard, beating the circulation drum, had a bright idea: a prize of one pound sterling for each answer printed and a grand prize of five pounds for the best answer to "What to do with Hitler?" Some 9,000 tried their hand. On the subject of the Fuhrer, British reserve had been bombed almost out of existence. Some suggestions:

P: Exhibit Hitler--preferably in a cage, with the public paying a fee for looking; spitting privileges extra.

P: Torture Hitler. Some suggested giving the Fuehrer a ride on a V-bomb. One old lady wanted the Fuehrer nailed to an outhouse and the building then burned down.

P: Turn Hitler over to the Poles and Russians.

P: "Appoint Hitler first cloakroom attendant at the Berchtesgaden home for poor Jews."

P: "Let Hitler live with my in-laws for a month."
