During the time Disney helped organize the independent filmmakers against the industry's mainstream, he was also accompanying Lessing to American Nazi Party meetings and rallies.

According to Arthur Babbitt, "In the immediate years before we entered the war, there was a small but fiercely loyal, I suppose legal, following of the Nazi party. You could buy a copy of Mein Kampf on any newsstand in Hollywood. Nobody asked me to go to any meetings, but I did, out of curiosity. They were open meetings, anybody could attend, and I wanted to see what was going on for myself.

"On more than one occasion I observed Walt Disney and Gunther Lessing there, along with a lot of other prominent Nazi-afflicted [sic] Hollywood personalities. Disney was going to meetings all the time. I was invited to the homes of several prominent actors and musicians, all of whom were actively working for the American Nazi Party. I told a girlfriend of mine who was an editor at the time with Coronet magazine who encouraged me to write down what I observed. She had some connections to the FBI and turned in my reports."*

If Disney and Lessing were sympathetic to the American Nazi movement, their interest was most likely motivated by the desire to regain favor with the once-lucrative, Nazi-occupied countries where Disney films were now banned. To that end Walt was also committed to the "America First" movement and became one of Hollywood's most active prewar isolationists.

*The existence of these reports has been neither confirmed nor denied by the FBI.
In her memoirs German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl claims that after Kristallnacht she approached every studio in Hollywood looking for work. No studio head would even screen her movies except Walt Disney. He told her that he admired her work but if it became known that he was considering hiring her, it would damage his reputation.

The most exciting new book in America is a poorly written memoir by a man who mopped floors in a Kentucky fast food joint, says Joshuah Bearman.

Writing in the LA Weekly, Bearman says Greg Tate's "11 Years, 9 Months, and 5 Days: Burger Store Episodes and Frustrations," published by online vanity press Xlibris, is an unlikely page-turner: it's an artless, police blotter-like account of the petty indignities of a dead-end janitorial job.  It's also "full of misspellings, typos, grammatical errors and editing gaffes." Nonetheless, says Bearman, "I went through my copy of '11 Years' in a few hours, and told all my friends about the wonderfully, terribly honest piece of writing, and now I'm going public with it because, well, the book just plain deserves it."

Curious?  A sample chapter of "11 Years" is available on the book's Xlibris site.

Wow! I'm currently reading Fast Food Nation too! I don't really have anything to add--your review pretty much covered it all. Have you gotten to the part about "Hank" the rancher yet? So far that's been the most affecting section I've read. And I knew that Disney was a crypto-Fascist & anti-Communist (who nevertheless took handouts from the US government), but I didn't know that he'd hired von Braun & the other Nazi scientist. Hooray for Operation Paperclip!
