Referring to Hitler....

"I cannot remember a human gaze ever conveying such will power. In his otherwise coarse face the eyes were probably the only attractive and certainly the most expressive feature. And now they were boring into me, as if to force me to my knees. At the same moment the notion of an Indian snake-charmer flashed through my mind, and I realized that those eyes must have intimidated many a man before me"
