Scholars will now be able to have a more informed understanding of Soviet decision-making and how the key battles were fought on the Eastern Front. This comes six days before the 66th anniversary of what Russians call the Great Patriotic War.

I’m probably going to be backlogged with reading for the rest of my life. People like Edwin Black are going to be pumping out books like machine gun fire.

(snip) surveillance against the National Lawyers Guild, an organization founded in 1937 and long associated with the labor movement and liberal causes.

As Colin Moynihan reports in The Times, the F.B.I. turned over copies of some 400,000 pages from its files on the group under a 1977 lawsuit. In 1997, the copies were donated by the guild’s lawyers to the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University with the understanding that they could be made available to the public this year.

At last report Hitler was still dead. However there are far more Elvis sightings than there are of Hitler. I’m more concerned as to what happenend to Osama Bin Laden that an indiviidual who would be 118yrs old, and by a long shot would be still living?

My point was that 20 years after WWII, a fairly reputable source still though Hitler was alive. Stalin knew exactly what happend to Hitler but manipulated the information probably for his own entertainment.
