Come now, Zwolfkinder is pretty obviously inspired by Disneyland.

The aim of these reports is hardly hidden: what other agendas might you mean?

True enough, which is why researchers feel it is important to continue
bringing it up, to warn that the Nazi program was not destroyed but
instead shared out among the victors: plastics, pharmaceuticals,
rockets, weapons of mass destruction, restricting human rights in the
name of anti-communist and anti-capitalist wars, superhighways,
anti-intellectual fetishization of innocence and purity and the body,
marketing as a mode of government -- the Nazis gave so much to us.
People deserve to know. It's very interesting.

And I've said it before, Hitler didn't create these evils, so much as
create a state where they could thrive. They are still thriving.

I am reminded of Hans Jürgen Syberberg's movie, Our Hitler: in one
segment, each of the actors is Hitler . . .

This is what Slothrop can't return to, isn't it?
