    Not me and wotnochad....The list just shouted out at us...

    Blimey a Hitler comparson on someone buried on Mount of Olives....His funeral was attended by lots of weird and wonderful people apparantly.

    Must have been something we didn't know about him. Got a heros funeral by all accounts.

    Conversation with a friend watching the tele on the day of his burial in Israel

    Steve "Splutter" choking on a nice cuppa

    Her "What's wrong you're turning green"

    Steve "the B*rger managed to get himself buried in the only country where dis-interment is forbidden"

    Her "And?"

    Steve "If they can't dis-intere him nobody will ever be able to proove he is not down there- the B#s!ard"

    Her "cleaver"

    Exactly as you say they must be bark up the wrong tree, Mein Kampf was written in 1925-26 and covers has political philosophy rather than the military planning which was the product of General Halder for both the Polish and French campaigns

    Because of Hitler's support for Chadar Bose and their cause for freedom from the British, Hitler was popular then and possibly even today.

    Certainly there was a Bose following, but lets not forget the hundreds of thousands of Indians that server in Commonwealth uniform under British command....Certainly we could not have done without them. So I'd rather look at the long history no matter what good or bad things may have happened, and still look on India as a loyal friend and ally in ww2. Many more served against Hitler and the Japanese than will ever buy Mein Kampf.

    If I remember correctly the veneration of Chandra Bose was Post War rather cynical move by Congress Party (one of the most cynical parties in the world) to defuse any right wing support for a Bose inspired party. How big was the INA about a Brigade?
