[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16968751, member: 67454"] Uncle Walt, according to some reports was early on a NAZI sympathizer. Early, a lot of Americans were, because they figured Hitler would stand as the wall to keep Marxism from spreading. When he got it figured out, he had some catching up to do, and went all-in for the Allies. I've never been able to verify this. But I do know, from my own great grandfather's mouth, because he was one of them, many Americans thought the Nazis would solve the Communism problem for us. Remember that it wasn't until near the end of the war that the Holocaust was discovered by the rest of the world, so the American citizens of the time can be forgiven for that. And that same concept, that the Nazi's were going to end communism, was shared by a lot of British citizens, too, all the way up to the top of the royal family! But what wasn't widely realized, even today, is that NAZI is an anagram. It means National Socialism. They got in power by promising, among other things, that German workers would be taken care of by the state from the womb to the tomb, in return for their service to the country, either being a plumber or an infantryman. So in the reality it was two different forms of fascism fighting for which would be dominant in the region, if not the world. [/QUOTE]
