German Jews served their Kaiser. The German composer Mendelssohn was Jewish. Hitler was recommended for the Iron Cross Second Class by his units Jewish captain. A Jewish doctor treated his mother's cancer. I could never fathom the German mindset. Goethe’s words come to me, how he spoke of his fellow Germans as ''noble in the individual'' and ''wretched in the collective''.

Yes, I absolutely concur. Hitler was overwhelmingly obsessive about his mother to that of being unnatural. The doctor who treated Hitler's mother was quoted as saying he had never seen such incredible dedication, devotion of a son to a mother. And that the manner in which Hitler mourned her loss was something beyond the realm of normal mother-son kinship. After his mother's death, Hitler wrote the doctor a very touching, emotional letter effusively thanking the doctor for doing everything in his power in trying to cure her of the cancer that took her life. It's very difficult to comprehend but an explanation described in a best seller about a decade ago called "Explaining Hitler" by Ron Rosenbaum offers some semblance of an explanation.

I can provide the information a little later if you'd like but am unavilable at the present being very tied up right now with a million different things.
