I wasn't complaining John, if it was important I'd check

Yeah the old christkiller things. I mentioned to a guy who expressed anti-semitic views that Jesus was Jewish, his mother, his stepfather, his brothers, the original Apostles, ...

He got mad!

Sorry guys but the nazis as an intellectual elite has me rolling on the floor, Goering? Goebbles. Himmler, Hess? Goebbles maybe was smart in a perverted way, but the others were little more than thugs.

Absolutely agreed. Many of them were cunning though, like rats. And given the way Hitler played the Europeans (and many Americans) he was probably a genius. Evil...

They may have been thugs, but they were thugs with the capability to take over perhaps the most educated and scientifically advanced nation on the planet at the time. Goebbels methods are still in use today. To wit:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”

“Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character”
