Achtung neo-Nazis!!

Here's a little something to forward to your favorite Nazi scumbag. Guaranteed, it will absolutely make his or her day (including you too, Davy Irving & Tommy Metzger).

Hitler 'had Jewish and African roots'
Adolf Hitler is likely to have been descended from both Jews and Africans, according to DNA tests.

Samples taken from relatives of the Nazi leader show that he is biologically linked to the 'sub-human' races he sought to exterminate.

Journalist Jean-Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren used DNA to track down 39 of the Fuhrer's relatives earlier this year.

They included an Austrian farmer revealed only as a cousin called Norbert H.

A Belgian news magazine has reported that samples of saliva taken from these people strongly suggest Hitler had antecedents he certainly would not have cared for.

A chromosome called Haplopgroup E1b1b (Y-DNA) in their samples is rare in Germany and indeed Western Europe.

'It is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, in Algeria, Libya and Tunisia as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews,' Mr Vermeeren said.

'One can from this postulate that Hitler was related to people whom he despised,' adds Mr Mulders in the magazine, Knack.

Haplogroup E1b1b1, which accounts for approximately 18 to 20 per cent of Ashkenazi and 8.6 per cent to 30 per cent of Sephardic Y-chromosomes, appears to be one of the major founding lineages of the Jewish population.

'This is a surprising result,' said Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist who agreed that Hitler probably did have some roots in North Africa.

Not a very good day for neo-Nazi asshats or history revisionists. Not a good day at all.

Formula One Honcho: Hitler Was Able to 'Get Things Done'

Expect a clarification of this stupidity pretty quickly. Or this idiot's dismissal from his position.

FORMULA One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has described Adolf Hitler as a leader able to "get things done" in a discussion about dictators during an interview with The Times newspaper published today.

Asked to comment on accusations that world motorsport chief Max Mosley behaved like a dictator, Mr Ecclestone went on to speak about Hitler, former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein - whom he said should have stayed in power - and the Taliban.

"In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he ... could command a lot of people, able to get things done,'' Mr Ecclestone told The Times.

"In the end he got lost, so he wasn't a very good dictator.''

Yup, he got a little lost. Let's overlook the systematic extermination of millions.

Hey, he got things done!

Mr Ecclestone added: "We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control'' Iraq.

"It was the same (with the Taliban in Afghanistan). We move into countries and we have no idea of the culture. The Americans probably thought Bosnia was a town in Miami. There are people starving in Africa and we sit back and do nothing but we get involved in things we should leave alone.''

A town in Miami?

What an idiot.

So let's recount: Hitler was peachy, Saddam Hussein could control his people and hey, those Taliban aren't so bad.

But Americans? Why, they're a bunch of geographically-challenged rubes.

Good luck selling Formula One racing over here, pal.

Domestic Terrorist To Speak At Brandeis University

He's baaack. It appears as though Brandeis wanted to keep this quiet after the Boston College controversy. There is no mention of the event on their website and the Boston Globe just got around to reporting this yesterday.

Former 1960s radical Bill Ayers is Boston-bound again, this time invited to speak at Brandeis University a month after he was blackballed at Boston College - prompting some of the same reactions.

“It is outrageous given his past and history,” said sophomore Douglas Moore, 20, of the Facebook group Students Against Bill Ayers Coming to Brandeis. “This isn’t something we should be allowing on campus . . . The type of activism Ayers is known for is that of violence and destruction.”

Event organizer, Liza Behrendt of Democracy for America, proved once again that when it comes to promoting their radical lefist agenda, no guest is off the table. Even Hitler.

'You Can Say What You Like, But He Was a Good Man to Us'

Word has it he really like animals, too. As for those six million people he had slaughtered? Well, he did have some faults, I guess.

History has condemned him as the megalomaniac who brought death and misery to millions.

But for one woman, the name Adolf Hitler evokes a smile not a shudder.

She is Rosa Mitterer, who worked as a maid for the Fuhrer at his mountain retreat in Bavaria in the 1930s.

Rosa is 91 and until now has kept a vow of silence about her experiences. She has chosen to break it after realising she is the last survivor of the circle who served the the tyrant in the years before he launched the Second World War.

And her verdict on her former master: 'He was a charming man, someone who was only ever nice to me, a great boss to work for. You can say what you like, but he was a good man to us.'

Rosa's remembrances of life at the court of the tyrant make gripping reading. She saw leading Nazis come and go. Himmler, the evil party secretary; Bormann, whom she described as a 'dirty pig'; and the club-footed, sexually-obsessed propaganda minister Goebbels.

Rosa went into Hitler's service at the age of 15 in 1932 when she was Rosa Krautenbacher. Her sister Anni had worked as a cook at Hitler's Berchtesgaden retreat since the late 1920s.

'She said he needed a housemaid and I would fit the bill,' Rosa recalled. 'I remember so clearly the first day I spoke to him in the kitchen. I said I was Anni's sister and that made him smile, because Anni was his favourite. I only ever knew Hitler as a kindly man who was good to me.'

Corn: Hey, Only the Left Is Allowed to Make Hitler Analogies, Or Something Like That

David Corn's lament that some fringe types are making comparisons between Barack Obama and Hitler might carry a bit more heft if we hadn't spent the better part of eight years enduring the angry left's absurd Bush is Hitler talk.

Further undermining his case is using long-ago discredited George Soros-funded Media Matters as his source as well as a column on World Net Daily from a guy nobody has ever heard of.

Anyone on the right making such specious claims needs to be ignored. The fact anyone on the left has the gall to complain about Hitler analogies is more absurd that anyone on the right even making the claim.

Maybe Tito the Builder ought to help straighten Corn out again.

A Broken Man: Headless Hitler to Return

After being decapitated moments after the exhibit was unveiled, the knuckleheads at Madame Tussaud's vow to put Hitler back together and once again put him on display.

Why bother?

Madame Tussauds said on Monday it would repair its figure of Adolf Hitler as quickly as possible and return it to its new Berlin museum after a visitor beheaded (more...) the wax tyrant on Saturday within minutes of the exhibition opening its doors for the first time.

The company issued a statement defying criticism that the inclusion of the Nazi leader was tasteless and inappropriate.

"Despite the incident, Madame Tussauds will again show the wax figure of Adolf Hitler in the exhibition. Madame Tussauds is apolitical and neither comments on nor judges the people shown in the exhibition or what they did in the course of their life," the statement said.

"The figures are selected according to their popularity or their significance in having a decisive impact on history, be that good or bad. Adolf Hitler represents a decisive part of Berlin's history that cannot be denied."

"The figure is being repaired in the meantime so it can be integrated in the exhibition as quickly as possible."

The Softer Side of a Genocidal Madman: Hitler The Comedian

Guy must have been a laugh riot.

Adolf Hitler found time amid the bloodiest war in history to crack jokes with his cronies.

Hitler the comedian is one side of the Fuhrer painted in a new memoir called ‘The Last Witness‘ by one of the Nazi leader's bodyguards.

The book, by Rochus Misch - who also served as telephonist in the Berlin bunker - also depicts the scene after the dictator committed suicide.

Hitler, the mass killer, “had a small fund of jokes,“ recalled Misch, who is now 90.

“The boss was said to be particularly fond of a couple jokes and told the best ones over and over,“ he said.

While Misch did not divulge Hitler's favourite jokes ahead of the book's publication, one joke that Hitler liked to tell was at the expense of his pompous Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering.

Goering was a man forever designing himself new uniforms and giving himself new orders and decorations.

“One day,“ Hitler used to say, “Mrs. Goering came into the bedchamber and found her husband waving his Field Marshall‘s baton over his underwear.

“‘Hermann, darling, what are you doing?‘ she enquired.

“‘I am promoting my underpants to overpants!‘“

I'm surprised the guy didn't do stand-up with material like that.

Churchill Cousin Had Hitler Love Child?

Sounds like something out of the tabloids and for all you know, it may well be nonsense. No doubt though it makes for interesting fodder for the gossip wags.

SHE was the English aristocrat who became so enamoured with Hitler that she shot herself in the head at the outbreak of war.

Unity Mitford had been so entwined in the Fuhrer's inner circle that British secret services described her as "more Nazi than the Nazis".

But could this cousin of Winston Churchill have been closer to Hitler than anyone suspected?

An article published yesterday raises the possibility that Mitford, who survived her suicide attempt, may have given birth to his child.

If the theory that this baby was born in a tiny Cotswolds village and rapidly adopted were true, Hitler's child could be living in Britain today.

Mitford was one of six well-known sisters who included Diana, the wife of the Hitlerite Oswald Mosley, and Jessica, a committed communist.

She first went to Germany in the early 1930s, when the Nazis were on the rise, and the young woman was so overwhelmed by a visit to the Nuremberg rallies that she became determined to meet Hitler. This she managed in spectacular style, ingratiating herself to the point where he described her as "a perfect specimen of Aryan womanhood".

When her homeland declared war on the Third Reich in September 1939, Mitford was so devastated that, in the English Garden in Munich, she shot herself in the head. She suffered serious brain damage and returned to Britain. As the history books tell it, Mitford then lived with her mother in the Cotswolds until her death 1948, aged 33.

Martin Bright, writing in the New Statesman, describes a call he received from a woman called Val Hann that suggested there could be more to it: "She explained that her aunt Betty Norton had run a maternity home to the gentry in Oxfordshire during the war and that Unity Mitford had been one of her clients.

"Her aunt's business, in the tiny village of Wigginton, had depended on discretion and she had told no one except her sister that Unity had had a baby. Her sister had passed the story on to her daughter Val." Asked who the father might be, Ms Hann replied: "Well, she always said it was Hitler's."

The Spoils Of War

Oj mamo!

Once again, one of our friends in New Europe - Poland - is providing one of their neighbors with a guided discovery on just where the bear goes in the woods.

Germany, Poland Fight Over Manuscripts
A priceless manuscript at a Polish library shows how Mozart wrote down his Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat Major - neat, small notes, no corrections.

Its neighbor in the collection, Beethoven's original copy of the third movement of his Symphony No. 8, bears witness to his creative agonies, with furious jottings and deletions.

Both manuscripts are towering monuments of Germanic culture.

But they've been in Poland since World War II - and despite pressure from the German government Poland says it has no intention of giving them back.

The documents at the Jagiellonian Library are among tens of thousands of manuscripts the Nazis took out of Berlin's national library to protect from Allied bombings. They were initially moved to a military fortress and then hidden away in a remote Benedictine monastery. After the war, Polish authorities transported the manuscripts to the university library in Krakow.

A recent article in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung referred to the manuscripts from the former Prussian State Library as "the last German prisoners of war."

That stirred an angry response from Poland, which called German claims for their return "entirely groundless."

[...]

German hopes of regaining the collection offend many in Poland, which lost 6 million people and vast cultural treasures, including an estimated 22 million books and hundreds of thousands of art works, in nearly six years of German World War II occupation.

Bitterness over the war surfaces often between the two countries. At a European Union summit this summer, Poland insisted that Germany accept its demand for voting powers disproportionate to its size, saying its population would be much larger today had Germany not killed so many Poles.

A key issue is that the manuscripts from Berlin were not taken by the Soviet army, as were many German cultural items at the end of the war, but left behind by the Germans in territory that later became Poland.

Pietrzyk said it was fortunate that in 1945 a team of Polish librarians found this part of the Prussian Library collection - which contains roughly 100,000 items - in the Benedictine monastery at Krzeszow, formerly Grussau, just in time to save it from possible looters. Fifteen of the 505 wooden chests holding it had already been destroyed or stolen.

The collection, which contains manuscripts by romantic poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was part of a total of about 3 million items that were evacuated from Berlin libraries between 1941-44. It first went to the Fuerstenberg, or Ksiaz, fortress in the Sudety mountains, and then on to Krzeszow, when the fortress was earmarked as a facility for Adolf Hitler.

Poland "legally took custody of the Prussian Library items, which the Germans had left unattended" while fleeing the Red Army, Foreign Ministry spokesman Robert Szaniawski said.

Tono Eitel, the chief German negotiator for the return of cultural objects, was quoted by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as calling Germany's loss of the treasures a "wound in Germany's cultural life."

May that wound fester and become gangrenous. May the cultural life of der Fatherland be eternally scarred by her Nazi past. May the Blood of the Innocents be upon Germany and its people until the end of time.

Swingtime for Hitler

Put your hands in the air!

No truth to the rumor these songs will be the basis for the soundtrack of YearlyKos: The Movie, but I'm sure spiritual leader Markos will relent under pressure.

Hitler's record collection from his Berlin bunker

A collection of gramaphone records from Adolf Hitler's headquarters in Berlin has appeared, giving an insight into the Führer's musical tastes.

The record collection was in possession of Russian military intelligence officer Lew Besymenski, who examined the Führerbunker in Berlin following Germany's defeat in 1945.

Mr Besymenski kept his haul secret but after he died in June this year his daughter revealed the find to German magazine Der Spiegel.

Surprisingly, the music Hitler and his entourage listened to featured Russian composers, including Tchaikovsky, as well as a Jewish musician who fled Germany in 1933.

List here.

Via Hot Air.

Hanging With Hitler

The Kos Kidz should love this one. An inside look at their hero, as told by his former bodyguard.

The Secrets of Hitler's Last Living Aide

Nowadays, Misch lives in an apartment in Berlin. This part of the city is more like a village, the neighbors know each other and say hello. It's a quiet part of the world - except for Misch's apartment. He complains that his phone won't stop ringing, and the letters are piling up on his table once again. He even gets letters from Japan, Spain and the US. Some contain cash and requests for his autograph. Recently he had to order another set of photos of himself. He signs them and sends them on. The photos show Misch in his uniform, in front of two bunkers, 65 years ago. The war won't leave Misch in peace.

Poor thing, hounded by adoring fans. He wants peace and quiet. Can't you leave the poor Nazi alone in his twilight years?

So what does he decide to do to get some peace?

Write a book!

Misch has now written a book about his experiences during the Nazi era. It has already been published in South America, Japan, Spain, Poland and Turkey. It is due to be published in Germany this Autumn. It's called: "I was Hitler's Bodyguard."

The media will probably fall over themselves trying to get an interview.

Disgusting.

Joseph Goebbels was unavailable for comment.
