My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Visiting Europe's Fascist Sites-- Part 4: Eagle's Nest and the Reichstag
Another of Hitler's shows was at his mountain-capping Eagle's Nest. It was his Alpine getaway south of Munich in Berchtesgaden where he softened his image and became a "regular guy." A stone tunnel leads to his elevator which takes you to the top.
The Reichstag in Berlin is Germany's parliament building. It "mysteriously" caught fire in 1933 and gave Hitler the excuse to frame the communists and seize power.
