Bit of over exaggeration don't you think Kes ? Okay she wasn't everyones cup of tea ..... but Hitler ? No I don't recall anything in her tenure about death camps, attempted extermination of several races or for that matter invasion, conquering & subjugation of other Countries peoples (trust me I know, insider information & all that due to being in the Army at that time think I would've noticed) .

Lively debate is one thing & there's always going to be a huge gulf dividing the opinions of folks where ol' Mags is concerned, but pumping out the populist rhetoric of her being a "Nasty Nazi", is quite simply unrealistic.
