Nazi Spycalists

Unless you happened to be alive during WW2, it is impossible to grasp just what the hell was going on.

Even if you were, it must have been confusing in the extreme.

Take the story of the friendly exchange visit from the Hitler Jugend for a pleasant trip to an open arms welcome from the local Rotary Club and special praise from that old colonialist Baden Powell.

This followed being wined and dined by the Nazi Joachim von Ribbentrop, who ironically was driven to Mount Stewart in my own home county by my grandfather's friend, to be wined and dined by our own appeasers.

The founder of the Scout movement is also said to have praised 'Mein Kampf' as a 'wonderful book'.

Hindsight is of course, a wonderful book also.

Former member of Hitler Youth claims church really did think they were nasty Nazis

What a load of old tripe.

A man who wore the uniform of the Hitler Youth, and now wears a pointy hat, claims his predecessor, Pope Pius XII actually helped Jewish people during World War II, er...by...um...saying nothing...

Someone, who wants to make a 'saint' out of Pius, which is utterly insane (given he's been dead over 50 years and following a botched embalming doesn't say a whole lot).

A man referred to by a government memo as 'the greatest moral coward of our age'.

Alright, let's see the archives then...
