 | Nazi rabbit breeding programme I stumbled across this whilst googling, don't ask. It has to be one of the strangest things I've seen concerning the Nazi concentration camps. Considering the atrocities meted out in these places who would have thought of breeding Angora rabbits. Courtesy of the Wisconsin historical society. Angora

| What a find, Bod. I can see it now, a child asking an SS Veteran , "Was did Sie do im dem kreig, GrossVater?" "Ach, Ich looked after fluffy-bunny-wunnies." What a paradox though having them on the Camps like that. |

| Learn something new everyday I've been wanting to comment a few times, and then just getting distracted by the sheer oddness of the link... That's one of the strangest little details of the period I've ever seen. Imagine the album lying on a desk next to Stroop's presentation Warsaw diary...

| "The Angora rabbit project was an SS-administered program to breed rabbits for their soft, warm fur, one use of which was to line the jackets of Luftwaffe pilots." ,.Them cheeky Nazi's thought of everything didn't they. |
