http://www.radiolab.org/story/nazi-summer-camp/ I'll check that out. I love history.
The imaginary motorcycle being taken away is hilarious!

Those are cool facts. Where'd you find them?

They usually ways get a movie made after them too..., that's pretty cool

One thing I find weird- During WW2, the Allies treated prisoners nicely... and got all kinds of intelligence in return.

And now so many people are insisting that what we need is to treat prisoners *worse* to get intelligence in the Middle East and so on- which has failed to pay off.

What's wrong with the tactics that worked great during the biggest war ever?
