Hitler tried to make dogs talk Hitler tried to win World War Two with an army of talking DOGS, amazing research shows. The barking-mad pet-lover believed the animals were almost as intelligent as humans and hoped they'd learn to communicate with their SS masters. He set up a school to train them to talk, read and spell in the belief they could act as concentration camp guards - freeing up more soldiers to fight. Star pupil at the school near Hanover, Germany, was Aire- dale terrier Rolf. He tapped out letters of the alphabet with his paws and was said to have speculated about religion and learnt POETRY. He reportedly asked a visiting noblewoman: "Could you wag your tail?" Another mutt was said to have uttered the words "Mein Fuhrer" when asked who Hitler was - while another imitated a human voice to bark: "Hungry! Give me cakes" in German. Other ludicrous experiments saw so-called scientists test telepathic communications between humans and dogs. The bizarre tale of Germany's educated dogs has now been detailed by Dr Jan Bondeson, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University School of Medicine, in his book Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities. Dr Bondeson, 49, said: "It is absolutely extraordinary stuff. There were some very strange experiments going on in wartime Germany regarding dog-human communication. "It's a fascinating insight into a hitherto unknown facet of Nazi Germany, but there is no evidence it ever came to fruition."- www.thesun.co.uk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
