Well that brought tears to my eyes. Amazing, I have never heard of this.

Many years ago, I used to wake up to one of the local radio channels that carried Paul Harvey's syndicated "The Rest of the Story" broadcast in the very early mornings. I remember him telling this story and later found out it was entirely true and that it is a rare glimpse into the human element in war. And now you know...the rest of the story...good day! [8D]

Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.
