A recent history by Goetz Aly is HITLER’s BENEFICIARIES. He has stats and accounts about fascist rulel of Europe to the benefit of people in Germany. One item I noticed is that of all the European nations occupied, the Belgian bureaucracy was the one that gave the most resistance to the occupation in sending wealth and human beings, especially Jewish Belgians, to Germany and the camps. They resisted, apparently, by doing what bureaucracy can do so well, bogging everything down.
Aly’s book is an interesting read. Suggests someof the financial imperatives to the holocaust!

Is it just me or does Simon look just like Pete Townsend?
Thanks for the link.
