More on nazis

I should have posted more on the subject of Nazis.

I don't remember much of the politics of the sixties because I was born in 1961. But I remember reading Mad magazine, probably in the early seventies, and seeing them make fun of people making this false claim of Nazi at whomever those people didn't like. This was Mad magazine, not a haven for conservatives. Looking back, the accusations were floating around since the fifties, but didn't become a big public thing until the late sixties.

The accusations did fall off by the early seventies, and I guess they went underground again. I said before that the scare mongering will fade again. I need to correct that. It will morph into something else.
