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.

Suspected Nazi Artifacts Found in Argentina
From the June 21, 2017, Chicago Tribune "Suspected Nazi artifacts found in a hidden room in Argentina"
Police have found the biggest collection of Nazi artifacts in Argentina's history in a secret room of the home of a collector near the nation's capital, Buenos Aires These include a bust relief of Adolf Hitler and magnifying glasses inside elegant boxes with swastikas. Some 75 items in all.
Authorities believe them to be originals.
Among the items were toys that would have been used to indoctrinate children and a large statue of the Nazi Eagle above a Swastika, a Nazi hourglass and a box of harmonicas. One of the most compelling pieces is a photo negative of Hitler holding a magnifying glass similar to the ones found in the boxes.
They did not release the name of the collector who is under investigation.
