arthur rudph who worked on rockets for hitler's germany was brought to the u.s.fter the war errand secret program to keep other countries from getting their hands on german scientific break throughs. that program was appalling. though the u.s. knew rudolph has been a nazi, i was not considered explicit of the atroscities. he became the father of the mighty saturn rocket. des moines 1 in 1984 as they prepared to prosecute him for involve in nazi use of slave labor he left the u.s. and renounced his citizenship. it's among dozens of cases detailed in a report never made public b obtained by "the new york times." >> the government knows much more about the history of american collaboration with the nazis than were previously acknowledged in th remarkable post-world war ii period. >> reporter: it describes battles over wheth it could be proven that swiss bks bought gold looted by jewish victims. jewish groups say the justice department should make the report public. >> they sit on the report, which only leads to guesswork. >> we're still covering up and hiding the ro

, the laws in hitler germany, fascist japan and italy, i was the -- i think that the campaign as i describe it in this book is very instructive or should be to every american, but to conservatives in particular about how unscrupulous and ill liberal so-called liberals are. it's why i hate it when anybody refers to it. .. well reflected our concerns. it said the core principles of american higher education are intellectual pluralism. intellectual diversity and academic freedom. and students should not be indoctrinated. so every university in this country of note has signed on to that document but only the universities in an ohio have actually attempted to make a step towards implementing them. why is that? we went through the legislature in ohio and got a resolution for an academic bill of rights and the seventeenth major state universities came to us and said will you withdraw the legislation if we implement the american councils so we said yes. and i will tell you there were two of the university's i will talk about in the state of pennsylvania where we made even more progress. the only re

sex abuse within the church, about the role in the church and the pope played when there was hitler germany and really a lot of things that are going to also make news about the orthodox church perhaps finding a way back to the roman catholic church. bottom line, the book comes out tomorrow and i think the most interesting thing, i got the advanced copy, read through it and we were asked not to talk about this until tomorrow and then guess who broke the embargo? the official publication of the vatican. that's why we're talking about it now. >> i guess they can break their own rules. seems like there's a specific ambiguity in some of those statements. >>> about 20 minutes to go until the opening bell kicks off. the big story today, ireland agreeing to an emergency bailout. for more, let's go to becky quick. good morning. put this in perspective for us. we remember the greek bailout and how that had huge effect over here. could what's happening in ireland affect businesses here? >> that's the huge concern. this seems like this is deja vu all over again. ireland finally saying, yes, we need a

the second world war what happened with the how given jewish population what happened under hitler in germany they have some ideas but not enough knowledge how did these. grew up and that's why especially young people who are not satisfied with their lives they are very sensitive for new ideas and they don't have immune system against these ideas so i think that the lack of knowledge is one of the largest reason and the lack of proper politic will stand against this side and i this is the second well. let's take a look around the world at some other international stories right now germany remains on high alert ordering this week's warning about an imminent militant attack on police have been posted around the country train stations airports and tourist attractions going to turn to terror threat has led to a rise in reported formula so false alarms officials also confirmed that suspicious package found in the libyan border down from munich was a security terrorist uncontained new experiences. of a second law started laying rescue attempts at a new zealand coal mine where twenty nine workers re

before world war ii, there was an effort by the brits to invest in hitler's germany to build economic ties that would prevent conflict. boy, did that work. and it wasn't just britain's deal that -- were they betrayed czech security that convinced hitler that the west was gutless, it was also money invested in his country in the 1930's. and we gave the japanese scrap metal and oil even as they raped china. eventually the japanese's mayhem in china was too much even for american capitalists. not enough to discourage corporate interests to the sell of b-7 blueprints to japan as late as 1940. now, they never consummated that deal because the attack on pearl harbor sort of short-ended those negotiations. today we're giving the chinese our genius and r&d worth billions of dollars and it's deja vu all over again. foreign and domestic satellite operators will have the export controls on the launching of advanced communication satellite systems on p.l.a., that's people's liberation army, controlled rockets. and then the companies that make those rockets. oh, yes. china is offering 30% to 50% b

germany swallowed up austria. almost the thirteenth one thousand nine hundred thirty eight hitler triumphantly entered vienna but the un truce was not a civilized action it was a powerful military absorption. the war came to an end for many european towns in the spring of one thousand nine hundred five on april the thirteenth the german surrendered in vienna the city of mozart and strauss was free again austria regained its independence people everywhere destroy the traces of the anschluss welcomed the soviet liberating troops and dumped waltz's in the town squares. the fighting continued in neighboring czechoslovakia all made a face people in prague staged an uprising they flew the national flag from windows and built barricades. radio prog called on the city's residents to stand up to the hardships of the wars last hours. of that time slot a fourth of a was a seventeen year old miss. eastman said we were targeted even when we went out to pick up the wounded for example although we were wearing armbands with the red cross on them three living. when the un to collect some medicine for the wounded we found ourselves

germany. as as george bush himself admits he says you know i'm just i'm jim or i'm hitler so what are going to do about it so we're going to do about george we're going to put your pet bank j.p. morgan on the move there well the other thing to note is everybody has been focusing on goldman sachs remember goldman sachs almost did go out of business you can't forget that during the two thousand and eight crisis but which bank was totally immune apparently from everything j.p. morgan despite having the largest derivatives book by far in the world estimated at about ninety six trillion dollars so how were they so immune from everything that was collapsing around them all the degree of it is blowing up around the world j.p. morgan suffered hardly any damage relative to everybody else that's right goldman would have been out of business except for the largest of warren buffett who of course got a fantastic deal that he cut with goldman directly a deal that was not available to the u.s. taxpayer and let me just point out for a second here to those liberal media types like bill maher jon stewart who's

that while nazis in germany, communism it russia and china even and in cambodia had religious elements, who would deny that? why is governing apparatus of ideology, no matter what hitler had to say about his devotion to a warrier-like christ involved the proposition among those who ruled these states and their entourage was greater than their on. they acted on that proposition and restrained by nothing. we saw the consequences. you may say truly in their heart of hearts come catholics adopted the rituals after murdering innocent women in the fields of poland could be true. i don't deny it, but what we must ask ourselves is if this a serious discussion is not whether there were infiltrations of religious thought, obviously there was. that goes without saying. whether something fundamental changed in the thought that made these atrocities possible, and i say, yes, there was. >> one minute. >> i've argued as well that atheism is a position with a deforming influence on science, and i've begin you my reason -- given you my reasons. finally, i've argued that atheism in so far as it removes from the human context a brute sense of obligation based on fear, a brute sense of o

hitler thought that he could achieve a thousand year reich, that by his litter some, his victories, that he would make germanythe dominant force in europe to the future as anyone could see. he made the nazi soviet pact as part of a bargain with the devil, so to speak, and when the soviet union was about to come under attack from the nazis, he refused to believe that we have given lots of intelligence he refused to believe that an attack was coming. and when it happened, he was so unnerved, depressed by it, that he disappeared from view for a few days. and there was a backing of leadership while the soviet arms were retreating under the weight of this nazi assault. stalin, at the end of world war ii, could not accept the idea that there was the possibility of an accommodation with the west, with the united states and great britain. what he failed to understand was that americans, the british, were enormously appreciative of the sacrifices the soviets had made in the war come and that is as george kennan said, the great american diplomat overcame the head of harry truman's policy planning council. george kennan

hitler committed suicide in the reich chancellery but some s.s. units continued resistance. in the evening soviet troops captured to the right stocks top floors for the first time the red flag was one. over the. germany. that. didn't go on. but. on the morning of may second general. commander of the berlin defense area arrived at the soviet headquarters to sign a cease fire order. was the first to read and type out that order. frankly i thought it was a very. exact quote from the initial. considering the situation of the civilian population in. considering the situation of our wounded. and surrender with the consent of. said to myself. as long as the war and. soon after the ceasefire order silence fell over central berlin soviet troops took the city under control the soldiers knew that was the end of the war. at ten am there was complete silence. that that's the. flag not a flag really but a white sheet. as they start scrambling out of their shelters we get out into the open. a surrendering. by the evening of the second of may civilians were out in the streets of berlin. many kids but the adults stayed at home the russians have. heard many stories about . what if they were treated in the same way aga

germany. why? what are the german policies that you favor, and why do you compare ours to them? guest: well, the germans were very badly burned by this problem during the rise of hitler in the late 30s. and along -- they have a tremendous fear in germany of inflation, and that is equalled only by their fear of youth unemployment. because the political fuel in the 1930s for both the communists and the nazis came from young people who were essentially totally excluded from the workforce by the rigidity of the german seniority systems. and the famous hitler maidance in 1933 the british ambassador and the german chancellor who preceded in 1931 commizz rated with each other and said there's no political solution here except disenfranchising people under the age of 25. that's how they saw the politics of the situation. we don't have that here. but what has been happening here is a lot of individual and personal tragedies that are tauf radar screen. you don't get much reaction to op ed piece, but i've gotten some to this one and i was struck by one letter i got from a woman who writes, my 27-year-old son has been without work for over a year and this has taken a toll on all

germany and communism in russia, communism in china, communism in cambodia certainly have religious elements, who would deny that? why is that an interesting claim? the governing apparatus of audiology, no matter what hitler has to say about his devotion to a warrior christ involves the proposition among those who ruled these states and their entourage that no power, no power is greater than their own, they acted on that proposition. they were restrained by nothing and we saw the consequences. you may say some catholics adopted the rituals of the communion after an especially arduous day of murdering innocent women in the fields of poland could be true. i don't deny it. but we must ask ourselves if this is to be intellectually serious discussion is not whether there will infiltrations of mankind, of course there weren't. it goes without saying. but whether something fundamental has changed that made these atrocities possible i would say yes, there was. i've argued as well atheism as a position as a foreign influence on science and i've given you my views in -- reason. finally i've argued that atheism, insofar as it removes from the union context a sense of obligation based on feeling, the brutal sense of

germany, the landsberg prison. now landsberg was already famous. it was famous because in 1924 an individual named adolf hitlerper year for treason, and it was in his 13 months and hitler's 13 on the stotland word that he wrote my struggle. a treatise by the way that winston churchill called " revenue koran of face and war." the united states army took over the landsberg fortress in 1945 and they ran it for 13 years. we haven't been running guantanamo that long yet. not until 1958 did the army released the last of the germans in prison. at one point there were 1600 of them and we executed 300 of those 1600. after the german prisons came arrive the landsberg they filed a writ of habeas corpus petitions, but instead of indirectly in the supreme court, the file and in the united states district court for district of columbia. they claimed violations of the fifth amendment. and the cases consolidated for the decision led to the supreme court opinion in johnson versus eis and trevor, decided in 1950. the issue johnson versus driver is the issue that a rose half a century later in the guantanamo habeas case is ultim
