a small provocation: Wolves will sometime fight each other. Does that mean they're lambs? Once you accept the idea of the totalitarian, immanentist, absolute State, you cannot accept competition. There must be only one Fueher--that means getting rid of all your potential competitors. That doesn't mean they were pacifists... Umberto, Thanks for the "small provocation" but I remain unprovoked and ask you to read about the struggle of the Freikorps in the service of the legal government of Germany to stop the Soviets to establish a red government in Germany after the bolshevik coup in Russia 1917. Read and ponder and you will see that that the Freikorps saved Germany. But some Freikorps leaders joined the National Socialists, I am willing to admit, but that does not mean that all were "brown". Best wishes Bertil
