Conspiracy-Theorist-in-Chief? JFK Believed Hitler was Alive After World War II

Description

It's time to dust off that old tin foil hat. Former president John Fitzgerald Kennedy toured around Europe and Germany after World War II had ended as a foreign correspondent. JFK kept a log of his travels and wrote down his thoughts in this exclusive and super rare diary, the only one that the former president ever wrote. The 61-page collection of memoirs, dated from 1945, is going up for auction for the 100th anniversary of JFK's birth, but it's not the sale that's so interesting - it's the content of the journal that might leave you scratching your head. The travelogue contains many interesting thoughts on the devastation of Germany and life under the Russian occupation, but a few lines in particular are causing some commotion. Before the death of Adolf Hitler was confirmed, the JFK speculated that the Fuhrer could have remained alive after the end of the war. Conspiracy theories abound that Hitler didn't actually die in Berlin, but that he escaped via submarine, either to Argentina or even to a secret Nazi underground base in Antarctica. However, evidence for these theories appears to be scant and most historians deny this version of events, being relatively certain that Hitler committed suicide with his love Eva Braun in a Berlin bunker after it became clear that the Nazis had lost the war. Nazi Germany's aggressive expansion was the main initiator of the violence which would engulf the entire globe in what would become known as World War II, or the Great Patriotic War in Russia. Over 60 million people lost their lives in circumstances brought about by the war. We're not sure if JFK was present at the Roswell incident or if his assassination is in any way connected with his writings on Hitler, but it certainly does give some food for thought. All kidding aside, JFK's memoirs are a unique piece of history and detail the thoughts of the future president at the ripe, impressionable age of 28.

Bacon and Sausage Factory to be Built on Site of Former Nazi Labor Camp

Tucked away in a remote part of the Austrian Alps, this unassuming construction site is the center of a controversy because of its dark past. The usually normal construction of a meat factory in the Austrian municipality of Haiming, near Innsbruck, continued to raise major questions from locals. What's the big deal? Well, Austrian pork producer Handl Tyrol plans to build a bacon and sausage factory here, on the former grounds of a Nazi forced labour camp. During World War Two, hundreds of prisoners were made to build a dam for a hydro-electric power plant in the area. After the surrender of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, the former labor camp was cleared and remained empty until the land was acquired by Austrian power company Tiwag, which didn't care to develop the land. Recently, Tiwag approved the sale of the site to Handl Tyrol, who made plans to build a new factory as soon as possible. However, Tiwag's sale of the controversial site to the pork producer has garnered criticism from descendants of the former landowners of the site, who say that Nazi authorities pushed them off the land. Still others question the impact on history of building over the site with the checkered past. Handl Tyrol representatives have stated that the question of the sales' legality should have been handled between the former landowners and Tiwag, and have already confirmed that they would not delay construction.
