Springtime for Hitler

[miketroll]

ROFL! Presumably this great work has been completed by now. I wonder what great hitherto unknown insights it offered? Meanwhile I couldn't help thinking of pantomime:

Stalin: Oh no he isn't!
Audience: Oh yes he is!

Maybe they didn't want to do a PhD in Theatre b*llocks. Maybe they wanted to study war and twisted the PhD in such a way that allowed them to waffle to their heart's content on the subject.

They joined either to be with a lover or to fight on their own account
