Apologies if this is somewhere else. it probably is, but i've stuck in countless variations of keywords and got nowhere. feel free to delete/move etc..
Now i know this is knocking around various anti-EU sites but there does seem to be a grain of truth in it. All comes down to a certain Walter Hallstein "president of the Commission of the European Economic Community and one of the founding fathers of the European Union"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_HallsteinEU
Now it seems while he was was Dean of Law and Economics at Rostock University he made a rather contentious speech in 1939 that doesn't really sit well with the "always anti-nazi" opinion of him we're led to believe. The scary bit is that if you take out the bits about Hitler and Austria and replace it with EU and member states and it sounds very much what we have now. Apart from the bits about keeping german blood pure and getting rid of political parties opposed to Hitler obviously. i was especially struck by the universal law parts that seem to be the sort of things they are trying to impose on poland now. Now i know post-war german politics was infested by old-nazi's and they really didn't try very hard to track any of them down but really?.
The translation of the speech is here which is an-anti Eu site
http://www.reject-the-eu.co.uk/info/hallstein-conquest-speech.html
which you could say its propaganda except the original turns up at a anti-holocaust site here
http://www.profit-over-life.org/books/books.php?book=54
now my questions are threefold to those who have done a bit more research than i.
1. is that a speech by Hallstein?
2. Is the translation right?
3. If yes to the first 2 questions, how did this rabid old nazi ever get to shape the current EU?
