    I'm sure the poor buggers subjected to it found it hillarious as well.

    Apparently Hitler loved it. From what I gather, the medicine, which combined the feces particles with other experimental medicines, was something of a pep pill which would serve to make Hitler very alert and outgoing.

    If Germany had won the war, maybe we'd have our flying cars by now.

    I knew that guy was full of it and now I know how he got that way.

    Thanx for the stealth plane article. I love fox news......they always tell their side of the story.....and leave out other sides of the story. It is like tuning in to a one sided argument.

    This is not new news. If I'm not mistaken, the Nazis simply couldn't make the design work. They didn't have the technologies to make the composite materials needed for the design to be strong enough and light enough. It's not that they simply failed to deploy the weapon. This is another example of a news/network organization using a dramatic headline to "sell papers" and advertise the National Geographic TV program. We knew for a long time that the design was great, but we couldn't make one work out until the B2

    Had Mr Adolph been not a product of the First World War and had more foresight he would have pushed advanced weaponry in many fields and they probably could have won the war or at least created a lot more death trying. Unfortunately or fortunately Hitler saw these things as interesting toys but not to be taken really seriously. Once he realized the score it was then too late to get these things really working.

    Not getting paranoid on Russia probably would have helped too.

    Yep, some of his strategic decisions were not terribly sound.
