a practicing vegetarian.

| Don't forget Hitler used the excuse for annexing the
| Sudetenland that the Czechs were abusing the German speaking
| Czech citizens there.  And that was true!  Furthermore, the
| Czechs then ethnically cleansed the Sudetenland after the war!
|
| And how about the eugenic laws instituted by Hitler?  They
| were modeled on those in the midwest e.g. Indiana, 1907.
|
| bc, who notes that Hitler brought Germany out of the
| depression well before the rest of the world.
