The old German doctor led the biggest hospital on the island at the time (DEHKHB62EXW8).

The article got so many people’s attention, even cynical and condemnation. The interesting story from the article itself is not about the work of Dr. Poch in the hospital but, it was the final conclusion of the article that made everyone who read it interested.

Doctor Sosro blatantly claimed that the old German doctor whom he met and spoken to was Adolf Hitler the former dictator of Germany that started World War II.

He mentioned evidences such as; the German doctor couldn’t walk normally anymore, he always dragged his left leg when he walks. His left hand always shake, he has a moustache like Charlie Chaplin and a bald head.

That condition was similar to Hitler at his old age, as it found in all books which tell on Hitler’s autobiography (especially during the last days of his life), or the confession of Sturmbannführer Heinz Linge former aide of Hitler. There are many other evidences mentioned by Dr. Sosro to support his thought.

Dr. Sosro’s faith which he built since 1960 remain strong and unchanged even to this day. He even more certain after he obtained other evidences that supports his finding. “The more people against me, the more I will even work harder to find other evidences”. Said the doctor who was born in Gundih, Central Java in 1929 when he was met at his house in Bandung.

If his suspicion is true, Dr. Poch and his wife were then Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. When Dr. Sosro spoke to Dr. Poch in 1960 he was 71 years old, as history recorded that Hitler was born in 20 April 1889.

Doctor Poch also very mysterious, he didn’t have any Doctor Licence certificate at all and looks like he didn’t understand any medical matters, said Dr. Sosro who graduated from medical faculty of University of Indonesia which was assigned in Sumbawa Besar Island when he worked at the hospital ship “Hope”.

When he was first assigned to the Sumbawa Besar Island and met with the old German doctor and his wife, his suspicion was purely accidental. However his suspicion then grew into beliefs that Dr. Poch and his wife were Hitler and his wife Eva Braun.

Dr. Sosro kept some keynotes which mostly helpful to him. His attention on literatures about Hitler grew bigger and every time he sees Hitler’s picture he’s getting more convinced that Dr. Poch is Hitler. This was happened in the 1960; he had since long left Sumbawa Besar Island for 20 years.

One day one of his nephews brought him a 1980 15th edition of Zaman magazine. In that magazine, there was an article written by Heinz Linge, a former aide of Hitler with the title “Real Life Story From the Last Days of a Dictator”, which was translated to Indonesian language by Try Budi Satria.

On page 59 Linge told the story about the suicide of Hitler and Eva Braun, which their body were then cremated. In that article Linge also said about Hitler’s physical condition at the time; “some people in Germany knew that the Fuhrer dragged his left feet when he walks; his eyesight is began to blurred, his hair didn’t grow anymore then, as the war raged on and Germany is getting defeated, Hitler suffer from neural stiffs”.

As he read the article Dr. Sosro realised that those physical symptoms were similar to what he saw and found with the old German doctor. He became more convinced after he read Hitler’s biography book. “They are all similar”, said the father of four children.

In the article Heinz Linge also said that Hitler’s left hand began to suffer from tremors at the time of battle of Stalingrad (1942 -1943) which brought disaster to the German army, and Hitler faced difficulties to cure the tremors. At the end of the article Linge wrote that, “I’m glad that Hitler’s grave and body was never found”.

Dr. Sosro then remember some conversations between him and Dr. Poch which he beliefs was Hitler when he visited his house. When the old doctor asked about Hitler’s government he praised it. He also said there’s nothing happened in Auschwitz; the famous concentration camp where Jewish people were killed.

Dr. Sosro said, “when I asked about Hitler’s death, he said that he didn’t know because at the time the whole city of Berlin was in chaos, and everyone tried to escape and save themselves. “

Between the conversations, Dr. Poch complained about the tremors in his left hand. Dr. Sosro then checked his ulnaris nerves. There’s nothing happened, same thing when he checked his throat. He made conclusion that Dr. Poch only suffer Parkinson since he’s already very old.

What made Dr. Sosro surprised was when he confirmed his prediction that Dr. Poch suffer from psychological trauma. When asked when was this symptom appeared, Dr. Poch asked his wife in German language. In which she replied, “It happened when the German army was defeated in the battle near Moscow. When Goebbels told you about that you were hitting the tables repeatedly”.

What she means about Goebbels was Joseph Goebbels the minister of propaganda of Germany which was known loyal and closed to Hitler. His wife also called him several times with “Dolf”, which possibly the short name of Adolf.

After received many ridicules because of his articles, his will to solve this case was getting bolder. He confessed he received information from Sumbawa Besar Island that Dr. Poch had died in Surabaya. Some years before he died his wife left him and returned to Germany. Dr. Poch was then remarried with Mrs. S, a Sundanese woman from Bandung West Java, an employee of a a local government office in Sumbawa Besar Island.

To find the address of Mrs. S which already returned to Bandung is not easy to do, said Dr. Sosro. However finally there was someone who was willing to give him her address. She lives in the area of Babakan Ciamis. In the beginning Mrs. S was not willing to open about these matters.

However, after kept slowly persuaded, she was then willing to speak about her deceased husband. She gave to Dr. Sosro all written documents belong to her husband including their wedding photos, driving license which has Dr. Poch fingerprints on it. From Mrs S it was known that Dr. Poch died on 15 January 1970 at 19.30 pm in Karang Menjangan Hospital Surabaya because of heart attack. He was buried the next day in Ngagel village. He was 81 years old when he died.

In one of the written documents there is one worn out pocket notebook that support his faith all these times. Inside the notebook there are hundred of foreign names that live in various countries around the world, there were also hand writings which difficult to read. In other part of the notebook there were steno hand writings, all of it in Germans. Although there is no name that show posses this notebook, it is believed belong to Mrs. S deceased husband Dr. Poch.

At the cover of the notebook there were 2 codes; J.R. KepaD no.35637 and 35638, each number marked with biological symbols of male and female. “Therefore it’s a big possibility that this notebook belong to the two person, which I believe was Hitler and Eva Braun”, said Dr. Sosro.

Countries, address and hundred of names were written in the notebook; some of these countries are Argentine, Italy, Pakistan, South Africa, and Tibet. In one of the page there were writings if translated means:

Fugitive Organisation. Mr Oppenheim replaces Mrs Kruger. 79 A/1. Travel costs to South America (Argentine).

In the notebook there was also one name that often mentioned in the history of former Nazi fugitives, which is Prof. Dr. Draganowitch, also written Draganovic. Under Draganovic name there was written Delegation Argentina da Imigration Europa – Genua Val Albaro 38. Separately under that, there was written Vatican. In another page it mentioned Draganovic, Croatia, Roma via Tomacelli 132.

Intisari magazine on October 1983 edition mentioned about the address of Val Albaro in an article about Klaus Barbie or Klaus Altman former member of Gestapo, Nazi secret police. The article also mentioned that Draganovic had close relation with the Vatican Rome. He helped Klaus Barbie escape from Germany to Argentina. On 1983, Klaus Barbie was extradited from Bolivia to France, the country that sentenced him to death in 1947.

“There are still many addresses in this book that I haven’t managed to understand its relevance with the Nazi movement. I must be really careful about this because it involves many countries. I must still work very hard to find all these connections. I’m sure the names in this notebook are Nazi fugitives”; said Dr. Sosro.

He admitted that he had difficulties in translating the steno handwriting to normal language or handwriting. When he asked assistance to the German steno book publisher he received answer that the steno handwriting in the notebook was an old German that hadn’t been used for more than sixty years, therefore it’s very difficult to translate. However, the publisher promised him to find him an expert Gabelsberger steno translator. Later on there was a reply from Germany to his letter along with the steno translation to regular German language. Dr. Sosro then translated it to Indonesian language. The title of the writings in the note more or less was brief information on individual manhunt by allies and local authority in 1946 Salzburg, Austria.

In the notebook it was mentioned, “We, me and my wife in Salzburg, 1945”. It didn’t said specifically who is “we”. In the notebook it also mentioned the couple was hunted by CIC (United States intelligence service). Basically it was a story about a married couple chased & hunted by security authorities.

There are many abbreviations written in capital letters which shows chronological escape route of this couple, which are B, S, G, J, B, S, R. “These abbreviations is Hitler’s habit when he make notes, just exactly as I had read in other literatures”, said Dr. Sosro. These escape routes are interpreted by Dr. Sosro as; B (Berlin), S (Salzburg), G (Graz), J (Jugoslavia), B (Belgrade), S (Sarajevo), R (Rome).

Dr. Sosro explained that Rome is the last European city in the escape routes. After that, they escaped from the continent to a remote place which was Sumbawa Besar Island, Indonesia. He cited one of the steno writings in the notebook: “On the first day of December we have to leave R to receive a passport letter, and we succeeded to leave Europe”. Dr. Sosro said, “This is same with the data found in the Dr. Poch’s passport which mentioned that the passport with number 2624/51 was given in Rome. The notebook also has hundred of addresses, with Draganovic’s name connected to Rome.

About Berlin and Salzburg he explained by citing from Zaman magazine 14th May 1984 edition. It is said, history recorded that in 1945 an aircraft that carries Hitler’s secret papers was crashed in eastern Germany. “This is also showed their escape routes”, he said again.

Then what about Mrs S which was mentioned by Dr. Sosro as the second wife of Dr. Poch? She told Dr. Sosro that one day she saw her husband shaved his moustache like Hitler’s moustache. When she asked about it, her husband said to her that he is Hitler and said, “Don’t tell anyone”.

After reading and listening to Dr. Sosro’s explanation, there were slight connections between one another. However there are still many questions that need to be asked to him.

Dr. Sosro even already made some kind of dissertation book that tell all of his opinions about Hitler equipped with some photos that he got from Mrs. S. This book also tells his personal experience after he graduated from medical faculty at University of Indonesia until he was assigned in Bima, Kupang and Sumbawa Besar. He had proposed his work to many publishers but still hasn’t received any reply. “I have no intention in doing these all these works; I just want to show that Hitler died in Indonesia”, he said firmly.

Dr. Sosro is not the only person who has theory about Hitler’s escape from Germany to another country; there were also some people in this world who had told this to mass media. There is a change for this theory to exist, because when Hitler and Eva Braun died in 1945, there was no corpse that can be use as evidence.

It is the job for experts in this area to uncover everything including the legality of documents possessed by Dr. Sosrohusodo, Mrs S and the tomb in Ngagel which mentioned as the grave of Dr. Poch. Perhaps forensic experts could provide explanation by performs DNA research to the bones. It is all return to goodwill of all sides.

Wehrmacht silver panzer assault badge itself was first introduced in 20 December 1939, which awarded to tank crews who successfully fulfilled their mission during the invasion of Poland few months before.

Panzer badge was designed by Ernst Peekhaus from Berlin; the production of this badge was ordered by Wehrmacht commander Colonel General Walther von Brauchitsch.

Another class of this medal which was made from bronze was introduced on June 6 1940, which added as an award for the crew of other armoured vehicles (assault gun, halftrack, etc).

The shape of panzer badge itself is oval surrounded by the oak leaves circle, 5 leaves on the left side and 4 leaves on the right side. At the bottom of the badge the oak leaves was tied.

A tank comes out from the oak leaves circle facing forward from left side to the right side of the oak leaves, an area under the tank look like grass on a soil, the left track of the tank cover the right side of the oak leaves and at the top of the badge there is an eagle with its wings folded down, and its legs held a Nazi swastika.

Requirements criteria of this award are:

• Take part in three assaults using armoured vehicle in three different days.
• Wounded during an armoured assault using armoured vehicles.
• Received an award for bravery in armoured assault.

Silver panzer badge is awarded to the tank commander, gunner or radio operator; while bronze panzer badge is awarded to panzer grenadier regiments, assault gun crew, armoured reconnaissance vehicle unit and medical personnel that participated in combat with armoured vehicles. The panzer badge award must be approved by the commander of the tank division.

As the war continues, it was realised that one panzer badge is no longer enough as there are more and more tank crew veterans that involved in various battles which involved tanks and armoured vehicles. On June 1943, four classes of panzer badge with number 25, 50, 75 and 100 which symbolise the number of participated battles by the recipients was introduced.

The shape of this panzer badge is same with the pre – June 1943 badge. This new badge has a small box with the class number inside the box. The box itself is located at the bottom of the oak leaves circle. The size of the panzer badge number 25 and 50 are slightly larger than the old badge, while the badge number 75 and 50 are also slightly larger than the panzer badge number 25 and 50.

The Iron Cross is indisputably the most historically rich and notorious German award. Its long tradition dates back to 1813, when King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia first instituted the order during the War of Liberation against Napoleon.

The cross went on to be suspended from the uniforms of admirable German soldiers in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, and again in 1914 for World War I. Through the sacrifice of the men who earned it, its humble but striking design became synonymous with old world German courage and triumph.

Standard German form was to display decorations on the front left pocket of a uniform. Both military and paramilitary forces were awarded the same decorations, with such Nazi organizations as the SS eligible for the same awards as the regular military.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTiXI4E1hrM

Medals and large badges were worn on the lower pocket while smaller ribbons were worn above the pocket flap. This manner of ribbon wear was similar to awards of the American military. Extremely high ranking decorations, such as the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, were worn as "neck orders" suspended from the uniform collar.

1. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was a senior award of the standard Iron Cross and was worn suspended from a recipient's neck. The Knight's Cross was awarded in several grades to include the Knight's Cross with oak leaves and swords.
2. The Iron Cross was a standard decoration of Nazi Germany and also of the planet Ekos. The Iron Cross was issued in two different classes, first and second.
3. The War Merit Cross - awarded for non-combat deeds of a heroic or meritorious nature. When the Hirogen took over the USS Voyager and trapped the crew in a World War II holodeck scenario, one of the German holodeck characters wore this badge on his uniform.
4. Iron Cross Spange - Worn as an attachment to the Iron Cross of World War I, the Iron Cross Spange denoted an additional award of the same grade of the Iron Cross for service during World War II.
5. Infantry Assault Badge - The Infantry Assault Badge, which was a close approximate to the American Combat Infantryman Badge, was worn on the front of a recipient's uniform and denoted front line service as an infantryman.
6. Anti Aircraft Badge - Worn by personnel who had qualified as members of anti-aircraft companies.
7. Close Combat Clasp - Awarded for front line service involving close quarters combat with the enemy. There were several degrees of this badge, including a Close Combat Clasp in bronze and one in silver.
8. Wound Badge - Nazi Germany issued a Wound Badge for those injured in combat with the degree of the badge determined by how severely the bearer had been wounded. The Wound Badge in black was the basic decoration followed by a Wound Badge in silver for more severe wounds.

Students at Lincoln University in New Zealand celebrated its "Oktoberfest" in a rather peculiar costumes: The newspapers "The Press" and "The New Zealand Herald reported that several students appeared in Nazi uniforms to their dorm party in Canterbury, while others dressed as concentration camp inmates .

According to reports, was on the costumes "Sieg Heil!" to read and "Hitler is my husband," a party guest should have worn a white top with swastikas. The New Zeland Herald quotes one student as saying that the party guests were "Heil Hitler started" and made tasteless jokes.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Roger Field, is now apologizing for the behavior of students. He said it was inappropriate and unacceptable.

Was, according to the president of the fraternity, Megan Harte, the party organized by dorm, not the university itself, the celebrants were inclined not racist and would not attach the Nazi ideology, "she said. Many of the students in the first year is not easy to know what it was about the Holocaust on themselves. Now, university and dorm management must decide whether to punish the students involved.

Stephen Goodman, president of the Council of Jews in New Zealand, expressed disappointment and stated that the students dressing up as a "disgusting show of ignorance".It was not the first time and would probably not be the last time that something like this happen in New Zealand. In most cases, however, be done out of ignorance and not malicious intent.

Brutal Rituals, unique icons: In compounds not uncommon

Again and again, student parties, and Uni-care rituals in which participants dress up as Nazis, for excitement. In autumn 2008, a student reveling in Nazi-optics in England Cheltenham was even shown on television. Because, first-year students have been humiliated, especially violent, then went to university after the fall.

Bizarre exams and partying habits of students are not only available in New Zealand and Britain, but around the world, especially for student organizations. For the often cruel and degrading rituals, there are names like Fala (Poland), Nonnismo (Italy) or Trote (Brazil). In France, the Bizutage ensures time and again for protests.

At U.S. universities are candidates for the fraternity Hazing sometimes doused with ice water, rubbed with urine or receiving electric shocks. Also on first-year students in the Netherlands are waiting grotesque tests: The Animal Protection Agency announced last year that students should be forced to swallow live goldfish too, by having sex with chickens is the question.

Students are also regularly exposed to Holland after the German border and will return to Amsterdam - clad only in tights and garbage bags.

This is a slideshow showing you all the major small arms used by the Germans during WWII (I know I forgot to add the Walther PP and the MP41). I worked very, very hard on this. I welcome people's questions and correcting me on guns I might have missed. However, if your going to be an asshole about it then don't waste your time. I only put up guns that the Germans actually used in combat so experimental weapons are not included.

I welcome suggestions for new background music to be added in possible other slideshows I might make in the future. The only rule is that it cannot contain anyone singing, just music. And don't suggest it unless you think it would fit the theme.
