1. Interesting...

...especially the one with the couple on the beach.

[lebkuchen]

2. Did you read the captions beneath?

Lots of similarities to what is going on today.

7. "The lie of Preventative War"

Where have I heard that one before?

[lebkuchen]

10. Der Spiegel had 350 color photos to choose from for its web story

and they all directly reflect Bush's policies today.

Probably just a coincidence.

[SHRED]

4. Ahhh....

isn't that cute.

A couple of young Republicans:

3. "Hitler liked Christmas" on photo three...

I guess that is one more thing we differ on.

8. The pic of Hitler's soldiers returning from Spain/Guernica

They're all standing on Museum Island in the former East Berlin. I'm pretty sure they are in front of the Pergamon Museum, one of the best museums in the world. It's interesting to see it festooned with swastikas. The Soviets took care of that problem right quick, and procured all the artifacts the Germans had looted from other countries to boot.

Here's the Pergamon today. You can still see many bullet holes in the building (when visiting), left there when the Russians arrived to the city.

5. Best of all -- "The Lie of Preventative War"

Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop speaking to German press about the invasion of Russia.

"The Nazi leadership justified the attack as a preventative strike to hinder an alleged attack being planned by Stalin."

Sound familiar?

6. The one that caught my eye was "The Lie of Preventive War"

It's eerie how much we seem to be living right now.

9. The Nazi leadership justified the attack as a

Preventative strike to hinder an alleged attack being
planned by Iraq.

[lebkuchen]

11. "leaving the remaining masses...to be exploited by the Germans

as an uneducated slave race."

[sweetheart]

12. Preventive war

The one with the preventive war caption is ominous.
