Harry Elmer Barnes was a prominent American historian who in the late 
1930s emerged as a leading isolationist and German apologist defending 
German foreign policy as a legitimate effort to overthrow the Treaty of 
Versailles, which Barnes regarded as unfair to Germany. He would later 
go on to become a pioneer in the Holocaust denial movement. Lindbergh' 
sympathy to Nazi ideals has been clearly documented. (#013910)
