Perhaps Hitler was more pragmatic than a con man. I think he and many others felt betrayed, and out of that came finding a scapegoat, building a...
Strasser! That was the name. Hitler's obsessions and fixations ARE Nazism. To separate them from the politics is to misunderstand how the Nazi...

I think there were three. An original prototype, then two chassis with wooden turrets. The Maus is nothing compared to the so-called ultra-heavy...
