I know this isn't new news. But I haven't heard anybody say a damn word about this pope guy in months and months, whatever... He was totally a Hitler Youth when he was a kid!

(I may or may not be using this thread to test out a loophole in the Hitlering of threads)

He was also born 26km away from Hitler's birthplace. A stone's throw away from Austria. Or should I say, from "Greater Germany".

most of the rocket scientists from NASA's early days were members of the nazi party.

Yup. Also known as Operation Paperclip.

One of the NASA scientists brought over from Nazi germany was actually my Lady's grandfather. I guess that makes her 25% Nazi? It's not such a shocking statistic if you spend much time with her.

Critics of the new pope made a huge stink about this during his ascendancy. Anyway, he was a teenager and, IIRC, membership was compulsory.

Stockhausen too.

Hitler Youth

Makes me think of band names.

Shitler Youth
Hitlur Youth
Hit Le Youth (french sounding, for the hipsters)
