woulda been better on Hitler himself....but that whole postal restriction on sending bodies I guess...

"The men who might have written on this paper once controlled America - thirty short years ago they came to power. Today they are dead, their memory despised, their country in ruins. They had a thirst for power, a low opinion of man as an individual, and a fear of intellectual honesty. They were a force for evil in the world. Their passing, their defeat - a boon to mankind. But thousands died that it might be so. The price for ridding society of bad is always high. Love, Daddy."


History will repeat itself.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE HAD PERSONAL STATIONER...oh wait...

QFT, crab66

that's pretty cool

You know who else wrote on that stationery?

ftfa: The museum, which is not open to the public, added the letter to their exhibit about the CIA's precursor, the Office of Strategic Services.

So, if its not open to the public (which btw the US taxpayer is supporting) then what is the the point of having a museum then?

Too bad that still doesn't extend to fruitcake.

Why do you hate freedom?

Hey, that's no way to talk about the Democrat party. I'm sure some of them are not evil.

To be fair, I would have started a war to get my own custom stationery.

Way to make an awesome WWII letter part of the War on Terror propaganda CIA

Comparing Bin Laden to Hitler ? for REAL ? *sigh*

9/11 was a minor glitch

Dear Son,

I made this rattle out of Hitler's genitals and teeth.

Enjoy,
Dad

Came here for this, leaving satisfied.

The hitler -> OBL comparison isn't awful. They were both sociopathic figureheads of destructuve organizations with little respect for human life. You know bad guys.

If only we'd have attacked one sooner, and not funded the other one.

My father wrote home on captured Reichsminister's stationery. Not as impressive, but he took over the guy's office in Paris.

I hope you protected that, and it would be my honour to one day view that.

To be fair even if the US viewed itself as the worlds police force as it does now, I don't think they could have stopped Hitler. OBL on the other hand was a 100% US made problem.

My birthmother has a letter like that. Written by her father on Hitler stationery to her mother. Pretty cool. He was a native German speaker (left Germany in '39, joined the US Army in '42), so he got assigned intel work and snuck into places ahead of the main forces looking for useful documents.

The kicker? The CS is the CSB? He was Jewish.

They had a thirst for power, a low opinion of man as an individual, and a fear of intellectual honesty.


I see this quality in both ruling political parties. From the local all the way to the federal levels.

Tom_Slick: OBL on the other hand was a 100% US made problem.

Are you saying that the US overreacted to 9/11, or are you saying that US foreign policy forced OBL to become a terrorist?

Cuz the second one is a douchey thing to say.

FTFA: In what will likely go down as one of history's mysteries, the CIA Museum in McLean, Va., has obtained a letter from former intelligence operative Richard Helms written in 1945 on Hitler's stationary.


Hitler's stationary what?

/sorry about being a grammar... well... you know...

I just looked in my files and it was: "Verbindungsstelle Frankreich Der Organisation Der Deutschen Wirtschaft" (7 Rue de Presbourg, Paris). So I may have been very wrong about the Reichsminister (though I thought I remember my father telling me that the office he took over was a Reichsminister, but I was quite young at the time).

Anyway, he used this stationery for part of the war, but he only wrote on the back of it (not the front, letterhead). My father was in Special Services and I have his 'Secret' orders (which don't say much) framed here in my office with his dog tags.

However, one of his letters did say that he couldn't talk about where he had been, but he included Reichsmarks and German stamps (so you could easily guess).

Fubini: Cuz the second one is a douchey thing to say.

70% Overreaction 30% Foreign Policy Failures, allowed him to gain the power to conduct operations in the US.
