not directly on topic but since you mentioned polio, are you aware its likely a fraud and probably toxic poisoning? check out 'the moth in the iron lung' by forrest maready
im glad to know my ethics are intact and i wasnt a nazi. when i was about 12 (late 80s) my mother had a german student stay with us for a few weeks, the lad was about 18 and before he went home he felt the need to apologise to me for his grand parents behaviour during the war. i cant describe how i felt at this, it was stupid to me, neither of us were alive!

Great article! Thank you. I'm currently 3/4 of the way through, but need to go to bed!
Of course my article isn't really about about WW2, but ethics. ;-)
Understood - just trying to share...sweet dreams.
