Which is pretty  much what I read in William L. Shirer's The Rise and Fall
of the Third Reich  written in 1960 and was a big far hard cover two pound
book with teeny weenie writing on nice white pages and I read every word
cover to cover and carried it around like it was a big rock I was rolling up
hill in the late 60's.
Most that stuff they have more info on now with the Berlin wall down.
But basic German history has no modern revelations; no hanging chards.

He said there was a misconception the Nazi's made the trains run on time.
He says the trains ran quite late.
Lived in Germany during Hitler's rise to power the whole time.
And was shockingly anti German I was expecting something more balanced and
with less of an overt personal opinion. Like a history book... Which is what
it looks like on the outside.

Anyway I'd call that doing my basic Nazi homework.
As he takes it from the Visigoths on up.
Doesn't like them.
I disagree.
Or I'd not be shooting with them.
