The other 30% is in fibre insulating board...
...Adolf Hitler is a Catholic and has at his elbow a Papal Chamberlain in the person of Ambassador-on-Special-Mission Franz von Papen who as long ago as 1933 negotiated a Concordat for Der Führer with Il Papa. Yet typical Nazi newsorgans have been stewing up hotter & hotter scandals about German Catholic dignitaries, lumping them all, by implication, as currency smugglers and sexual perverts. In a recent issue of Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer appeared the ultimate in double-barreled cartoons: on the left under the caption Sworn to Satan a leering Jew seducing...
