2. They're still in Germany, but hidden.

In 1979, I was taken to the middle of German woods for "Jaegerfest". On the surface, it looked like a picnic with roasted meat, bread, and of course, beer.

And the German Jaegers (Royal Huntsmen) started singing Hitler Fight Songs with gusto.

Then in 1989, again, I was Germany at a private home. I was taken downstairs to the cellar. There in a glass case was Hitler paraphernalia: belt buckles, small daggers, medals.

There are third generations of Hitler devotees in Germany and they're waiting for support from Trump, the Proud Boys, Steve Bannon, and the like to take over again.
