The Erasure of Adolph Hitler’s Legacy


Germany—Visiting Germany and Switzerland during the Month of November was a real treat for me. Although I lived in Germany for 18 months of my military service (1968-1970) I did not travel to Berlin back then because of the red tape involved with travel to eastern Germany.

I love the German people, their language and culture. My memories of Germany are some of the most wonderful of my entire life. I made the trip to beautiful Berlin this time.

My interest in learning about World War Two was nothing insignificant. So much, violence, torture and mass murder needs careful examination. Europe was indeed a dangerous place during the reign of The Third Reich. Death and destruction was a constant visitor to anyone thought Europe. This was truly a holocaust for every man woman and child. Every family lost someone and so many families were totally wiped out by shooting and bombing.

What people fail to realize absolutely everyone suffered, not just the Jews.

What conditions could possibly cause this unbelievable catastrophe? Could they happen again? It really only a matter of when. Of Course Russia, Japan and China were also tangled into this mess and suffered as much or more..

I remember being horrified and saddened when I heard how the Russian soldiers that captured Berlin went on an orgy of non-stop rape of innocent women and children.

That kind of barbarism is redundant throughout word history. This is what we humans do to each other. It will happen again and again as long as there are humans. We can pretend we’ve evolved into a more civilized society but that’s just our optimism. Humans are wild and dangerous animals.

The despicable, fascist and cruel Adolph Hitler had a grand plan. Hitler wanted his own population of tightly controlled Arians to rule the world and erase all he felt was not pure. It became Germany’s worst nightmare. Even those loyal to Hitler suffered horrifically. National Socialism like all Socialism is a pure evil killer.

When the war ended American forces went to Obersalzberg in The Bravarian Alps and destroyed Hitler’s terrific retreat named The Berghof. Another nearby Hitler favorite, The Eagle’s Nest was somehow spared. It’s a wonderful place to visit and contemplate how and why evil world conquests were planned there.

Germany has to cope with a real embarrassment, Hitler worshipers exist in Germany. They also exist in the United States. They all have two things in common ignorance and hate. They don’t really understand just what Socialism or National Socialism is all about.

To discourage the Neo-Nazis Germany went on a destruction binge. They set out to destroy anything that could become a Nazi shrine. It the same time they deprive the world of the historical importance of these places.

If the neo-Nazis were better educated they’d know just how miserable Hitler made the German citizens. Germany would have been so much better off making museums out of places like the Fuherbunker, the Berghof and the Spandau Prison. The Nazi worshipers could use the education.

Thankfully there are places like Berlin’s Bendlerbloch and the Plötzensee Prison where Nazi style justice victimized members of the German resistance.

As someone who has been involved in the American justice system all of my adult life there is a serious lesson to learn from the People’s Court of the Third Reich. Sometimes American courts can mimic Nazi judicial tyranny. Are we better off without a death penalty?

To fully understand Hitler you must first admire his amazing accomplishments. He was a nobody that rose to the status of a world leader. What could drive such a man to become such a monster? How can charismatic politicians become such despots? How can we stop these monsters before they become powerful? Who will fill Hitler’s shoes and exceed his cruelty?

My beautiful friend Andrea shows you what's Left of the Spandau Prison near her home in Berlin.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...
