Joseph "Giftzwerg" Goebbels was what I always thought but after a little
net research I found attributions to Goering instead, as well as the
reference to "Schlageters". I'll have to dig a little deeper. The TRP
connection here is that Goering was the son of the first German imperial
commissioner of Southwest Africa. Wanna play "Six Degrees of Hermann Goering"?
