Nice post. I think this points up the fact that many people in Germany
in the 30's and 40's were not particularly bad people, not bad at all
really, but were swept along with everyone else in the hysteria spread
by their leadership. I'm sure lots of German people were afraid and
very upset about what the Nazis stood for. Good people *can* get
caught up in bad times; one can only hope that it will always be
temporary.

Those millions of nazis (Germans) were (and still are DUMB!,there are
many,many of them today! wanting the old nazism to come back!,just like
many,many russkys today are wanting the old style stalism communism to
come back today!) DUMB! during that era.They believed and sucked up
(lots of them did) to that nazi crap! They will Never Learn! Now,let me

I Worked with a guy who was in Germany in the 30's & was in Hitler
Youth..
" Like the Boy Scouts" was his take on it..
Nice guy, good sense of humor, usually easy going, hard worker..
& then
" That Jew ******* " would jump out when he spoke..
.. & I'd just cringe..
Had a teacher who lost her whole family in the Holocast;
One of the best teachers I had in College
our neighbors fled from Germany to Switzerland & then landed in the
U.S. & learned english & worked hard &
luckily survived & did OK..
&
I had a freind who lost her mother in the holocast..

- So I think the Pope must have learned a horrible lesson in
his youth..
He and I may have different views on a variety of issues
but
They wouldn't have picked him if he wasn't a truly good man..
