Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and Stalin. All on Radio 4

[Firky]

Radio 4 piece, I haven't heard it yet but it looks like it could be interesting. Will download it and listen to it when am on the train nextweek.

In 1913, Hitler, Trotsky, Tito, Freud and Stalin all lived in the same square mile in Vienna. Andy Walker reports.

Worst punchline ever

Not you, the OP. With a set-up like that thread title I was expecting something that would make me LOL, even ROFL perhaps. As it is I'm just sitting here with a stony look of indifference.

We could liven it up a little by speculating as to what might have happened if someone had accidentallied Vienna at that moment.

my first thought was it was going to be one heck of a panel discussion.

There was a Radio 4 play on a while ago called " Dr Freud will see you now Mr Hitler. Set in Vienna 1913.
Will have to try and listen to it on playback.

The line up reads like Nick Ferrari's list of who he'd most like on his show.

Wow, never knew that. My best mate used to live right opposite from there. I often cycle past Lenin's old place in Percy Circus on my way to college.
