While fear is a common denominator, not everyone worries about the same things. Tom Metzger, who founded White Aryan Resistance in 1980 after breaking with the Ku Klux Klan, ridicules talk of a military invasion. "Ninety percent of that stuff is nonsense," he says. "We've got 10 million Mexicans flooding into this country, and the militias are worried about repainted helicopters."

By stocking it with the world's greatest works of art, he hoped to showcase the superiority of Aryan artists over their supposedly "degenerate" Jewish counterparts. Within months of invading Poland in 1939, Nazi troops began seizing selected pieces - including paintings by Raphael, Rembrandt and Vermeer - from churches, museums and private art collections. The artworks were then hidden in mines and remote castles for safekeeping until the war ended...

...Percy Williams, a Canadian, became the first non-American to take the title. Six years later, Owens took the record back with a 10.2-second time - part of the epic performance in Berlin in which the sprinter notched four gold medals and punctured Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy beneath the Fuhrer's scornful gaze...
