It’s the basket case again!


It's the basket case again! [basket as in Ukraine, bread basket of Europe]. The news from Kiev, 2 December, gave me a jolt and a dose of deja vu. The East [Russia] and the West [the European Union] at ‘loggerheads’ over the Ukraine. That's why Hitler got the Germans to start war in 1939, for Lebensraum [room to feed the German population with space in the Ukraine to grow food: the Ukraine was known as the bread basket of Europe]. Adolph would be splitting his sides with laughter in his grave, well he would if he was there but we were informed by the Star, founded in 1978 by Richard Desmond’s Express Newspaper Group that 1. Freddie Starr ate a friends hamster and 2. Hitler was alive [and well, of course] on the Moon, a myth that seemly continues to this day in Yahoo answers [see below]. Post Eddie Shah and Today [published from 1986; the first dtp-produced newspaper] the late ’70s and ’80s were a time of change in British journalism [from what to what? Answers in under 14½ words, please, on a postcard]

Then, when  the war was coming to an end, Hitler was sent to the moon for safe-keeping. "using rocket technology, the Nazis sent Hitler to a secret base on the moon," the Sun reports. The 2012 movie Iron Sky depicts the Nazi's returning from this moon base to establish a Fourth Reich [Yahoo answers]
