Not From The Onion of the Day: According to a German newspaper articlebased on recently unearthed diplomatic cables, Nazi officials in Finland spent a significant amount of time getting riled up over a sunglass-wearing, Hitler-saluting dog named Jackie — going so far as to plan the financial ruin of its owner, Tor Borg.
From BBC News:
Mr Borg was called into the German embassy for questioning, where he admitted that his wife Josephine - a known anti-Nazi German - had called the dog Hitler, but denied being involved in anything “that could be seen as an insult against the German Reich”.
The embassy, however, thought otherwise, telling officials in Berlin: “Borg, even though he claims otherwise, is not telling the truth.”
The Foreign Office spent three months investigating ways of bringing Mr Borg to trial for insulting Hitler, but no witnesses would come forward, the newspaper reports.
“Just months before the Nazis launched their attack on the Soviet Union, they had nothing better to do than to obsess about this dog,” Nazi expert Klaus Hillenbrand told the AP.
