AND HERE I THOUGHT FDR WAS LYING ABOUT THE NAZI THREAT.

Fully armed Nazi bomber planes 'buried below East Berlin airport' (Allan Hall, The Scotsman, 7/22/03).

AN AIRPORT used by hundreds of thousands of tourists and business travellers each year could be sitting on top of thousands of live bombs.

Papers among thousands of files captured from the Stasi, the secret police of East Germany, claim tons of live Second World War munitions were buried in concrete bunkers beneath the runways of Schoenefeld airport in East Berlin. It is now the main destination for discount airlines, such as Ryanair, and numerous charter companies.

Not only did the commissars intern munitions beneath the runways, but also entire Nazi fighter planes, all fuelled and fully bombed-up, according to the Stasi.

The captured files of Interflug, the former East German government airline and the airport authority of the DDR, are now being examined to see if the Stasi claim is true."

This in no way excuses the administration's failure to find Iraq's WMD in four months. Posted by David Cohen at July 23, 2003 8:09 PM
