In Thailand you often see young people with swastika T shirts and tatoos. these are not facists they are Buddhists, the swastika is an ancient Buddhist symbol of good luck that Hitler used. In the second world war around 7000 Buddhists joined the nazis in mistaken belief that Hitler was fighting a Buddhist war, they had special purple uniforms and fought to the death , there were hundreds of them at the fall of Berlin and not a single one survived.

It was Bose who once famously said to Indians "Give me (your) blood and I'll give you freedom"

They describe this as a 'technilowcal' achievement. I've no idea what that means, but it's quite impressive all the same. From beneath it would look a bit like the batman logo... I wonder if that's a coincidence?

Memoirs of Hitler aide could finally end Holocaust claims
The memoirs of the last SS adjutant to Adolf Hitler are to be published in a move historians say could cast away the last shred of doubt over his personal involvement in the Holocaust.
By Allan Hall in Berlin
30 Oct 2009
telegraph.co.uk

Fritz Darges died at the weekend aged 96 with instructions for his manuscript about his time spent at the side of the Führer to be published once he was gone. Darges was the last surviving member of Hitler's inner circle and was present for all major conferences, social engagements and policy announcements for four years of the war.

Experts say his account of his time as Hitler's direct link to the SS could discount the claims of revisionists who have tried to claim the German leader knew nothing of the extermination programme. Right-wing historians have claimed the planing for the murder of six million Jews was carried out by SS chief Heinrich Himmler. Mainstream historians believe it inconceivable that Hitler did not issue verbal directives about the mass killings in Darges' presence. Other courtiers, such as armaments minister Albert Speer and propaganda chief Josef Goebbels, had their diaries published post war with no reference to hearing Hitler ordering the "Final Solution".

Darges died on Saturday still believing in the man who engineered the Jewish Holocaust as "the greatest who ever lived." His memoirs will be published now in accordance with his will. Darges trained as an export clerk but joined the SS in April 1933. His zeal for National Socialism soon earmarked him for great things and by 1936 he was the senior adjutant to Martin Bormann, Hitler's all-powerful secretary. "I first met the Führer at the Nuremberg party rally in 1934," he said in an interview given to a German newspaper shortly before his death at his home in Celle. "He had a sympathetic look, he was warm-hearted. I rated him from the off."

After serving in the SS panzer division Wiking in France and Russia he was promoted on to the Führer's personal staff in 1940. He rose to the rank of Lt. Col. and was awarded the Knights Cross, the highest gallantry award for bravery in the field. Much of his time after 1942 was either spent at Hitler's eastern headquarters the 'Wolf's Lair' at Rastenburg, East Prussia, or at his holiday home, the Berghof, on a mountain in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria.

"It was a very familial atmosphere at the Berghof," he recalled. "One time we went off to Italy together with Eva Braun and her sister Gretel in an open-topped car. I had to organise all the finances. I had the feeling that Eva's sister was interested in me but I didn't think I should become the brother-in-law of the Fuehrer. As adjutant I was responsible for his day-to-day programme. I must, and was, always there for him, at every conference, at every inter-service liaison meeting, at all war conferences. I must say I found him a genius."

But Darges misjudged the "warm-hearted" Führer deeply during one conference at Rastenburg on July 18 1944 – two days before a bomb plot nearly succeeded in killing him. During a strategy conference a fly began buzzing around the room, landing on Hitler's shoulder and on the surface of a map several times. Irritated, Hitler ordered Darges to "dispatch the nuisance". Darges suggested whimsically that, as it was an "airborne pest" the job should go to the Luftwaffe adjutant, Nicolaus von Below. Enraged, Hitler dismissed Darges on the spot. "You're for the eastern front!" he yelled. And so he was sent into combat.

But despite the dramatic end to his time with Hitler, he would still hear nothing against "the boss." "We all dreamed of a greater German empire," he said. "That is why I served him and would do it all again now," said the man who had a career after the war selling cars.

Antique car dealer finds Hitler's Mercedes
23 Nov 09
thelocal.de

A Düsseldorf antique car dealer working on behalf of a Russian billionaire told The Local on Monday he has located a Mercedes limousine belonging to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler after a painstaking two-month search.

The midnight blue 770K model vehicle was locked away in a Bielefeld collector’s garage with seven others also previously owned by Nazi party officials, Michael Fröhlich said, confirming an earlier report by Cologne-based daily Express. A middleman approached the 59-year-old with the task of finding the dictator’s car for a Russian billionaire several weeks ago. “I know it belonged to Hitler after confirming it with Mercedes myself,” he told The Local.

During his lengthy search, the car expert discovered that after the Second World War ended the vehicle had been sold in Austria before it landed in the Imperial Palace car museum in Las Vegas. From there it went to a brewery mogul’s collection in Munich, but the man's widow sold the car in 2008. Last week he got a tip as to who the buyer was and is now negotiating with potential buyers, contrary to Express reporting the car had already been purchased and would be taken to Moscow.

The paper also estimated the vehicle’s worth at between €4 and €10 million, a sum Fröhlich refused to confirm. “The cars are all still here and no money has changed hands,” he said. Fröhlich said he has the car’s original papers and repair logs and matched the licence plate number - 1A 148461 – to old photos of Hitler in the vehicle during a parade. He also checked with the public prosecutor’s office to ensure that the auto sale was legal.

The sale of the vehicle is expected to be finalised within the next few days, he said.

It took a painstaking 2 month search? The poor bastard must be exhausted!

Hitler may have tried stealing the Shroud of Turin
8 Apr 2010

New research shows that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler may have tried to steal the famous Shroud of Turin, but was thwarted by the Vatican, an Italian media report said this week. The linen cloth, which some believe bears the imprint of Jesus’ face after his crucifixion, was allegedly of great interest to the dictator, and church officials feared he would try to steal it, Benedictine historian Andrea Davide Cardin told magazine “Diva e Donna.”

Reporting on the article, German daily Die Welt said Cardin found documents written by former Turin Archbishop Maurilio Fossati in 1938 that revealed Nazi leaders had asked “unusual and persistent” questions about the legendary relic and its location during a visit to Italy by Hitler in 1938. The cloth was secretly moved from Turin to the southern Italian Montevergine abbey in 1939 for fear of bombing during World War II, but Cardin, who directs the abbey library, said he believed it may have actually been moved to hide it from the Nazis.

Because the Vatican was alarmed at Hitler’s interest in the relic, monks at the monastery hid the shroud in a choir altar. Later in 1943, German soldiers came to scrutinise the abbey, Die Welt said. To distract the Nazis, monks gathered to hold a service in front of the altar where the shroud was concealed, and because a German commander had ordered troops not to disturb the worship, the relic remained safe from their grasp. It was not returned to Turin until 1946, the report said.

Pope Benedict XVI is expected to make a pilgrimage to see the shroud on May 2, Die Welt reported. The relic goes on public display for the first time in 10 years from April 10 to May 23.

Why would anyone be surprised at this? Yes, he had a strong hatred for organized religion, but he knew what would get him a profit...he was crazy not stupid.
