Hi Luc,
Sadly, like most of us at one time or another, you've been
Url-ed. The url cited below in your posting is but one of many such trash
sites on the internet which exist more to confuse than inform. The reason
may be guessed at. I don't propose to spark off another conspiracy witch
hunt so will not hazard a surmise as to the likely motivation. The facts are
that the Express never printed such an article, nor in fact did it ever have
such a layout for its front page (I speak from a lifetime's experience in
journalism). Also, the Daily News was a fascist front until the advent of
Pearl Harbour when it suddenly discovered Mom, Apple Pie and - yes, you
guessed it - the nasty Nazis.
Regards,
Bob.
