Dear Mr. Ruspoli,

Were you able to put the narration of The Goebbels Experiment into your computer 
and then highlight all the times the word "had" appears, you would find that 
there are way too many times the word "had" occurs in front of a past tense 
verb, a place the word "had" does not belong.

For example, "Berliners had demonstrated a courage and manliness during the 
bombing raids that few had thought they possessed".

.brad.30sept10.

"There is nothing the word 'had' can do for a past tense verb that the verb 
cannot do for itself."
