Very interesting, CW5 Jack Cardwell. Between '83 and '86, I made five USAR trips to the FRG to participate in NATO exercises. While there, I met a USAR lieutenant colonel who had married a German baroness (Freifrau). Prior to WWII, her parents had joined the Nazi party, as did many German aristocrats. When this baroness was born, Heinrich Himmler attended her baptism and was named as her godfather. I would not have believed it, but my friend actually showed the written and signed baptismal records.

I don't demy it's a quite god video, certainly, I just can't fathom such a totally inhuman slimeball...the moron was an ex-chicken farmer, who was a total fraud, and among the top monsters in recorded history...I've watched I can't even count how many videos on all those dirtbags aside from that maniac, as well as read countless volumes devoted to serious historical analysis of all of those jerks...all of them were scum, the most vile of the most vile, that psychopath certainly just about among the worst...I've told all of you on here a true story many times, that my uncle, my Dad's sister's husband, had been a SSgt in the 3118th Signal Svc Battalion/Group, assigned to the common trailer physically next to Gen Eisenhower's personal trailer at Soutywick House at SHAEF HQ before D-Day...he saw and met Gen Eisenhower many times, as well as saw Gen Patton, Gen Marshall, Gen Bradley, Adm King, Churchill, De Gaulle, Gen Montgomery, Gen Tedder, and knew all the SHAEF senior staff, he saw the former drive Capt Kay Summersby, and also Sgt Micky Keogh (I can't recall his exact rank at the moment)...when the Germans actually surrendered at the little red schoolhouse at Reims, Germany, my uncle was actually in the common trailer with the rest of the 3118th crew, he personally saw the Germans drive in Joel and the other maniacs, when Gen Eisenhower wrote the Telex to Gen Marshall about the surrender, and the announcement of V-E Day, my uncle was among those who helped send it...he personally swiped a flimsy copy of it as a souvenir, that my cousins, his two boys, have to this day for the sons of one of them, as a personal souvenir, his grandsons, in a safe deposit box...after WW2, when Gen Eisenhower was president of Columbia Univ before being elected, he was giving out diplomas on the steps of main library in Manhattan, the bulk of the grads were all GI Bill vets, my uncle among them...my uncle, having been known in the 3118th as his unit's comedian, when all the other GI Bill vets had been too terrified to say anything to the General, actually reminded him of how he'd seen my uncle at Southwick House, to the aghast blown mind of the aide feeding the General the diplomas...Gen Eisenhower squinted at my uncle in his pince mez metal rimmed glasses, and actually recognized him as that funny little SSgt next door, to the amazement of the aide and the assembled audience...God, but I do love telling that story, you know?
