 Hitler, despite his rabid anti-Semitism, was frequently, but not consistently, an unconventional Nazi when it came to Jews involved in the arts.It may also have helped that Hitler's mistress Eva Braun was a friend of Dietrich's daughter.Unlike Dietrich, SA-"Gruppenführer" Prince Philipp of Hessen was a connoisseur of the arts and architecture and acted as Posse's principal agent in Italy, where he lived with his wife, a daughter of King Victor Emmanuel.
