War culture is part of the fabric of our identities, we comemorate fighters, we idolise them, and raise bronze plaques to them. We have grown up on movies of the european war 1939-1945, and outside of the very few neutral states at that time in Europe, everyone counts an ancestor who was involved. As too, were many nationals of those neutral states.
As sure as the media took an interest in the foregone concluded election of the german shepherd bavarian pontiff, Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI, they now take an interest in the interview published by Hitler's nurse bringing the world back yet again to those final days.

But the focus of interest, like an dead insect on the floor is not often the most fruitful for inquiry. We know that un-declared numbers of the high command left, via various routes with their data and technology and helped build the post-war scientific, genetic and defense communities.

The nurse, 93 year old Erna Flegel, dismisses Eva Braun, the consort of the German Dictator and supreme responsible for the holocaust, genocide and mass experimentation which opened our modern age- as "a silly young girl of non-consequence", yet one wonders what would have happened in later times to her eggs...
The end of the war, is agreed between historians and power interests, no-one wishes to rock that particular boat yet. And with those who played a part now in their 90s and the threads of property confiscation, intellectual patent, and the dictatorships of South America still very much in the memories of 30 year olds, such revisiting of the minutiae is to be as carefully regarded and criticised (in terms of mass media manipulation) as the verdict to be passed later this week on Lyndie England, the scapegoat of Iraqi Abu Ghraib torture, who keen readers will remember was 3 months pregnant at the begining of her trial and now faces 11 years in a military prison seperated from her child.
Make no mistake, our age opened with the camps.
We all live in post-fascistic societies, and even our left wing ideologies have been shaped under totalitarian dialectic conditions. By recognising such, we counter the return in sentimental terms by the underprivelaged urban to the language of the 1930s, and by correct application of spin, we continue the struggle against the real enemy of today - the multi-national-corporations.
The labradors in the photo above, are good with loo roll, and leading the blind, but no dog is as affectionate as the "kind of black pointer" or "kind of red setter" which carries no certificate of proven lineage and pedigree but just affords you a healthy stroll, years of loving affection, and the occasional bout of fleas and will be happy to have its tummy tickled, and shake your hand.
