Phil. I always like reading your blog, but don’t let a good line get in the way of facts. According to CNN, “The first Maybach car, the W3, was unveiled at the Berlin Motor Show in 1921″. In that same year, Hitler founded the “Hitler Youth” and managed to become all-out leader of the Nazi party (which had 3000 dues-paying members at the time). It would be a long time before he would have a bunker to name.

And as for Ireland being on Germany’s side in WWII, it would appear that the IRA certainly WAS on Germany’s side (in line with the old adage “England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity”), but in fact Ireland was neutral and quite a few IRA members were locked up for the duration of the war (funnily enough, in the same prison camp which housed downed German airmen and the like).

UHh, ask the Queen.

Seems to me that the earliest Maybach cars predate Hitler’s bunkers Check the History at the Maybachusa site.

Ireland did not fight on the side of Germany (Hitler) in WWII. Ireland was officially neutral, but actually supported the allies with supplies, particularly food to the UK, and medical help when Belfast was bombed. The Irish Republic didn’t have much in the way of Armed Forces.

Hell, it’s ridiculous – if Ireland fought for Germany, then the UK would have invaded & subjugated it within 12 hours. ojsbuddy has a tenuous grip on reality.

“Chas Lindbergh argued that America should side with Hitler in WW II .”

For that , he was run out of America , and died in a foreign country – - Hiwaii .

I’m not entirely certain about this, but I believe that Hitler hated Roosevelt so passionately because he believed that the American people were basically going to agree with Nazism, and that Roosevelt thwarted this “natural” turn of events. I.e., Hitler thought Americans were basically d’accord with his ideas and would have supported his regime if Roosevelt hadn’t turned the tide. I don’t think that contemporary Arabs who consider Bush a war criminal nurse similar beliefs about the American people as being basically on the Arabs’ side. So the proposed parallel doesn’t hold, as far as I can see.

I think you’re absolutely right that Hitler would have coveted a Maybach, though.

PS: Who is the anonymous heckler with the innuendo in the previous comment? He’s like a personal stalker, and has commented before, no? — very icky!

p.s. did you know that Ireland fought on the side of Germany (Hitler)in WWII ?

I bet you didn’t.
