I find the color pics of the Nuremberg rallies the most thought provoking. When I was stationed over there I visited a lot of Nazi sites, including the stadium. It seemed odd that a lot of the Nazi history is still there, especially in the buildings. A lot of Nazi office buildings were just reused, and the swastika markings pop up every now and then. The Germans are beginning to open the history a little and conduct tours of the sites (the Chancellery bunker where AH killed himself is a parking lot now). When I was there the first time, there was a small museum at the stadium...but VERY hard to find. Unpublicized and way off in a corner. If you asked people 'of a certain age' where anything Nazi-related was, you got a glare...if you were lucky. Now, groups are trying to find Himmler's grave. Himmler's daughter carries on the evil, and she is very involved in the Neo-Nazi movement. Don't know about Goerings daughters but wouldn't surprise me to see them in it as well. Rommel's only son was Mayor of Stutgart for a time, ans a passionate voice against the skinheads.
