This is shocking? and this is news? Hell, I knew this is junior high.

Let me guess: That was in the 50's or you went to a private school.

Neither, I went to a small town public school in East Texas, but did not learn about this in school. My father's parents are in their eighties. My grandfather served in Japan, during American occupation, and my great uncle served on the European front, where he took part in liberating a concentration camp. My grandmother(aka, Mawmaw) has read a lot about Hitler and can tell you just about anything you would ever want to know about the man. Plus, they have a lot of books about WWII, some of which I read.
