[edit] Birthday: 1882 or 1883?
Could someone knowledgeable find out what is correct year of birth? Googling shows both. Thanks. Pavel Vozenilek 15:22, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
The Dicionário Histórico-Biográfico Brasileiro pós-1930 (Rio de Janeiro: Editora Fundação Getúlio Vargas, 2001) and Presidentes do Brasil (São Paulo: Editora Cultura, 2002) state that Vargas was born in 1882. According to the latter source:
"Getúlio Vargas became a soldier in São Borja in 1898. The following year, he passed the examination to become a sergeant and matriculated in the Preparatory School of Tactics in Rio Pardo. From this time came the alteration of his birth year to 1883, corresponding to the minimum age to enter the Military School and therefore present in the majority of his biographies" (p. 335, my translation).

[edit] Salgado's Hitler Mustache
Salgado did at some point have a mustache similar to Hitler. http://paginas.terra.com.br/educacao/projetovip/0122.htm I am putting the sentence back in, but someone who knows more about him may want to reword it.

It isn't relevant to Vargas, so it shouldn't be mentioned in the article anymore, but it is a fact nonetheless.

[edit] Olga Benário
Just one thing about Olga Benário,
Being completly against antisemitism (being myself jewish), I dislike the fact she was deported to Germany. However, Olga was no Angel: She was a communist partizan and was involved in the plot to establish a communist regime in Brazil. And since Vargas was attempting to be in good terms with the Axis at that time, and since Olga was wanted by the Nazis, he depoted her without thinking twice. --Pinnecco 13:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Murdered?
[edit] Murdered?
"many historians say that vargas may have been murdered" who are these historians and where did they write it? i'm deleting this sentence until someone can find some sort of citation. --Cptbuck 01:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
