Did you ever see the movie Das Boot? I thought it interesting because it was a German made movie about WWII which is still a taboo subject over there. They concentrated on the U-Boat crew but if you notice the scene of the U-Boat leaving port, the taboo was still strong enough for the film makers to show the German Nazi flag hanging limp on the ship's flagstaff so the swastika couldn't be shown.

I don't recall that movie specifically but I grew up in the house of a WWII nut. Actually, I'm kind of a WWII nut myself. I can't tell you how much footage I have seen of Hitler shouting/speaking at his people, allied planes dropping bombs on Germany, etc. My dad is a military/aviation historian so I guess it is in my blood to have a special interest in Hitler. Did you ever read Hitler's Willing Executioners? Very thought-provoking.

I'll be really surpised if the allegations regarding Arnold's comments on Hitler are true. And, if they are - that is very significant unto itself because it really is a taboo subject for Germans and Austrians. It wouldn't be like some American kid spouting off.
