Fritz Eden To my knowledge (which I believe is extensive on this subject) Fritz Eden was not involved in any design in any way in the many years he was the business partner of Paul László. I'm quite certain that he was a valuable part of the success of the design business of Paul László, but not as a designer. So, to infer that he was, is a disservice not only to Paul László, but also to Mr. Eden. 68.7.212.152 13:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
"In 1936 he fled Europe for the United States to escape the Nazis. Ironically, without László's knowledge, some of his work appeared in Adolf Hitler's Eagle's Nest (the Kehlsteinhaus) near Berchtesgaden which infuriated Albert Speer, chief architect of the Third Reich and close advisor to Hitler. This incident convinced László he had to leave his family, his practice and his friends because Europe was no longer safe for him."
This paragraph suggests that László fled Europe because of the "incident" involving the Kehlsteinhaus. However, the Kehlsteinhaus was finished in 1939, according to that article, and constructed over a 13-month period prior. Thus, the date of 1936 seems to make this not a possible cause. 76.209.83.61 05:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
