from the website for The History Channel's "Saddam and The Third Reich"
Few people realize that the Baath party was actually formed upon
the principles and organizational structure of the Nazi party.
Iraq, because of its oil and hatred of Jews, was an important battleground
between the Axis and Allied powers in World War II. Nazi propaganda
was broadcast throughout Baghdad, and Iraqis often went on rampages
against Jews throughout the war. One of the most ardent Nazi supporters
during WWII was named Khairallah Talfah. Talfah was Saddam's uncle.
After the war, many of the key Iraqi Nazi supporters, all of whom evaded
prosecution, wound up involved in Saddam's rise to power. This special
examines the key individuals of the Iraqi-Nazi connection,
the little-known battle for Iraq in WWII, and the strange link
to Saddam Hussein.

"The Hidden Hand of Nazi Germany"........strong phrase

[VOA]

"The Hidden Hand of Nazi Germany"........strong phrase

The folks over at The History Channel should have run that past their lawyers.
They are perilously close to a tradmark infringement lawsuit by
The Nation of Islam with that phrase.

  Here is the meeting of the Grand Mufti with Hitler in Berlin!    

[VOA]

This show did explain the Nazis' bosom-buddy status with the Islamics.
The story is also well told and extensively documented in the book shown below.
Chapter Six (pp.127-145) is especially good; it's titled:
"Hitler's Mufti: Muslim Anti-Semitism And The Continuing Islamic
War Against The Jews"


"The Myth Of Hitler's Pope by David G. Dalin


After reading that chapter, I wondered how the Islamics were
so slighted for their vigourous assistance to the Nazis in the
history classes I took.
LOL! Maybe the Jews were responsible for obscuring the WWII role
of the Islamics!
