"Now a new photograph in Stern shows a vehicle with a palm tree and an iron cross painted onto it.

The symbol is reminiscent of that used by the Nazi commander General Erwin Rommel - the "Desert Fox" - in North Africa during World War II."

this is a photo of the palm in question.

I dunno if y'all remember, my kid went as Rommel for his first Halloween.

Rommel was as big a supporter of Nazis as the modern republican party is in favor of small government.

Thats to funny. Like a cross makes all german soldiers Nazi's. Hell isnt that just a smaller version of the cross they put on all their vehicles?



Sounds like the german Media is as nutty as ours.

I agree, no doubt most Germans are sick and tired of the "stigma" attached.   As much as the Germans want to forget it, most other countries "will not let them".

The funny thing is that Borat is making fun of the jews (among others) and both he and the producer i belive are both jews. If you dont get his humor then the joke is on those who dont get it. :D
