Was Rudolph ever Adolph?
Surprisingly enough I can’t seem to find the answer to this question on Google! I can remember many years ago listining to Paul Harvey’s “The rest of the story” radio broadcast. The gist of the story was that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was originally supposed to be named Adolph. But at the time of his creation Adolph Hitler became infamous for his outrageous crimes and the creator of the reindeer decided to change the name.
I was retelling that story to my daughter the other day and she didn’t believe me. I thought for sure that I could find the answer on Google and show it to her, but so far I haven’t found it. If you can find it, let me know!
