The Nazis made one mistake: they were Caucasian in the First Degree. Had their skin been swarthy, they could have taken over Europe, Northern Africa, and a good chunk of the Middle East with the blessing of an awful lot of Americans.

Truer words were never, ever spoken.

balderdash .

WWII was back in the non-PC day.

Had the Nazis been swarthy, America would have sent eight divisions to Spain in the mid-30s and offered to station the troops in France to fill the gap from the end of the Maginot line to the coast.

I'm not sure I get the Simspons reference here. What does Willie have to do with this?

It's lame, but I'm making a reference to George Galloway, who sounds like a Nazi propagandist Groundskeeper Willie.

And you had me racking my brain for actual nazi propagandists named willie. Jeesh!

Though briefly mentioned in Wm. Shirer's book, but mostly forgotten by history, there were a number of foreign correspondents in germany,, who went, as we shall say, 'native.'

Bob Best is the only name I can recall at the moment and he dropped dead just before or during his trial for treason. I wonder what happened to the rest?

I agree with BumperStickerist. Recall that we were led through WWII by FDR and Truman. Now THOSE were what I would like to call Democrats.

The Nazi's mistake was being white AND 60 years too early. Shoot - look at the kind of cooperation the western Left is offering to the people who are trying to exterminate the Jews today!

Also, it's my understanding that there were a lot of Nazi sympathizers in America back in the day. IIRC, it was mostly based on business interests, and not anti-Semitism, but still.

Charles Lindbergh was a king-hell Nazi sympathizer.

But, in late 43/early 44 Lindbergh managed to figure out how to nearly double the range of the P-38 Lightning simply by changing the mix to the carbuerator. The result being that fighters could accompany B29s to Japan nearly a year ahead of the island hopping schedule.

Shortening the war and shit.

Really, BumperStickerist , you got a link or something? (Sorry too much Value-rite Vodka makes me question your assertion).

The P-38 was a lousy high-altitude fighter originally.

This was due to a mismatched engine and supercharger. Lockheed was forced to use that bogus combo initially because that's the combo the govt dictated they use. Low altitude was fine, high-altitude, the engines fried.

[just got done watching a documentary on Lockheed]

Two mistakes - The Nazis crossed the Commies.
