Subject: Your letter of 24 Feb 1941
Alarm of the population of Absberg.
The Reich Office [Reichsstelle], Berlin, informs me that the transfer of the sick from the Ottilienheim was not carried out by Berlin, but by Munich. Therefore, I have now turned to Munich. In the meantime, I have found from the Regierungspraesident that we also raised a complaint against the ways and means of the treatment of the sick. I therefore hope, that such cross mistakes will not occur in the future.
Heil Hitler
S 297/11
[Initial: Semmler]
Gaustabsamtsleiter
*Only with IBM's technologic assistance was Hitler able to achieve the staggering numbers of the Holocaust. Edwin Black has now uncovered one of the last great mysteries of Germany's war against the Jews -- how did Hitler get the names?
*Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. was chairman of the board of IBM Corporation from April 1993 until his retirement in December 2002. He served as chief executive officer of IBM from 1993 until March 2002. In January 2003 he assumed the position of chairman of The Carlyle Group, a global private equity firm located in Washington, DC. (Hey Louie, any relation to German Mike?)
*Former president George H.W. Bush only recently resigned as a board member of the finance giant the Carlyle Group, heavily associated with military and security contracts. The Carlyle Group was 43rd among federal contractors in 2002, with $676.5 million in contracts. In 2003, the Carlyle Group moved up to 11th place, with $2.1 billion in contracts, partly from the war on terrorism and partly from Iraq. Insiders at the company also cashed in millions of dollars' worth of options in 2003.
*IBM and Scripps Research Institute to Collaborate on Pandemic Research. "This is a very exciting and timely collaboration between two of the finest institutions in our state." —Governor Jeb Bush
*In recognition of his efforts on behalf of public education, as well as his business accomplishments, Mr. (Louis) Gerstner was awarded the designation of honorary Knight of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in June 2001.
America has quite the Knighted-hoods : GHW Bush, Reagan, Caspar Weinberger, Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliani, Bernard Kerik, Greenspan, Spielberg, Wesley Clark … pandemic even. |
