While we're at it, we oughta resurrect some of those great Nazi songs too, like the one about Horst Wessel (equally florid lyrics, and marvelously evocative of the excesses of patriotism).

Those "saps" had a big problem in '41. They lacked any domestic sources of iron ore and oil. FDR knew it, and cut off their overseas supply. Hence...they went to war with the USA. It was as inevitable as getting sprayed when you kick a skunk.
