I hope that when our history books are written that moral sanity is not thrown aside for nationalism like what appears below(wonder if Germans read about Bush's granddad being buddies with the Hitler?).  In fact we need to start educating them now.  The picture of Saddam and Rumsfield should be on the front cover over every newspaper with the title "the last WMD deal in Iraq   1980s'.

Hitler books 'show new obsession gripping Germans'
By Kate Connolly in Berlin
(Filed: 25/03/2005)

From Hitler's Berlin to Death in the Bunker, from private diaries to coffee-table books with shocking and previously unseen pictures of bombed-out German cities, the craving for new material is enormous.

One visitor despaired that it was hard to find any other offerings at the recent Leipzig Book Fair among all the "Nazi shockers" on display.

Highbrow critics claim that many of the books are "unserious" and "sensationalist".

While few would argue that the fascination amounts to admiration for the Nazis, historians say the frequency with which Hitler's image appears in the media is harmful.

"Television, cinema and illustrated magazines are bringing the forms of brown-uniformed soldiers or SS officers into our living rooms with an intensity that's never been known before... the heroes of the crimes against humanity are laughing in our faces," wrote Jessen.

A poll published yesterday showed huge sympathy for Right-wing extremists among Germans from the capital and the surrounding region.

National Socialism "had its positive sides", thought 15 per cent of Berliners and 20 per cent of people living in the neighbouring state of Brandenburg.
