...Jews, regardless of their country of origin. In other words, American Jews were no different from their Continental cousins, in spite of what the Americans themselves felt to be an almost unbreachable divide between them and the Jews they were trying to rescue from the clutches of the Third Reich. In the end, as Kafka seemingly prophesied, they were all captives in the penal colony...
...pored over by a pair of California neuroscientists. More revealing of the bizarre possibilities of this kind of scientific quest is the case of Lenin. In 1925 the Soviets, applying a socialist definition of genius, entrusted his brain to a German neurologist, Oskar Vogt. The idea, explains Psychiatrist Walter Reich, was "to establish an institute in Moscow entirely devoted to the purpose of discovering the 'materialist' (that is, 'physical') basis for Lenin's political and philosophical genius." Two years and 34,000 slices later, Vogt found, and the Journal of the American Medical Association reported, a "large number of paths...
Hitler by now lived and worked entirely underground, in a hidden mausoleum known as the Führerbunker. Dug in next to the Reich Chancellery in central Berlin, the bunker was nearly 60 ft. below street level; its earth-covered roof was 16 ft. thick (but leaky).

...ordinary German soldier fought for Germany and not for Hitler, that cannot be said of the Waffen SS. Hitler's 1938 edict declared them to be "a standing armed unit exclusively at my disposal." A further directive in 1940 elaborated their future role. After the war the Third Reich would be expected to contain many non-Germanic nationalities. The Waffen SS would be the special state police force to keep order among these unruly elements. They proved themselves during the war: 40 miles from Bitburg, the Waffen SS murdered 71 American POWs...
...repeat, not--going to tolerate intimidation, terror and outright acts of war against this nation and its people. And we are especially not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states run by the strangest collection of misfits, Looney Tunes and squalid criminals since the advent of the Third Reich." The President singled out as assailants the governments of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Cuba and Nicaragua. Strikingly absent from the list was any mention of Syria, a frequent U.S. nemesis...
