Don Quixote's Hitler Dream

A bright moon was hanging in the sky. It was a balmy Spanish autumn night and Don Quixote was sleeping in his bed. He had a vivid dream of his sweet lady, Dulcinea of Toboso. But she faded away gradually into a vague eclipse. Instead, a hysterical Hitler appeared on the scene. The Nazis just invaded Poland and the Fuehrer was screaming that it was Poland that started the war by attacking Germany. He was yelling in a hoarse voice, making shrill screams staccato and gesticulating wildly. His arms were moving in a frenzied manner, milling and wheeling and his body suddenly started to follow the gyrating convulsions of his limbs. And now it dawned on Don Quixote that the spinning limbs and gyrating body of Hitler were the revolving arms of the giants, which, according to Sancho Panza, were not giants but the sails of windmills.
