Three German News Stories

 1.  The Minister of the Interior for Germany (Nancy Faeser, SPD Party).....has herself in a bit more trouble.  It appears that when she came into office....there eight positions vacant, and rather than advertise the vacancy situation (as you would typically do)....people were just contacted, then hired.  Oddly, this is at the very top level of the Ministry of the Interior.  

What'll happen?  Probably some review....taking several months.  With the other problem she already faces....I might suggest that she leaves the Minister position before the end of 2023.  

2.  The Ministry of the Interior is now talking about 'helping' Italy by taking some refugees (number not mentioned).  In relation to this, the FDP said why can't we talk about ways to rethink the whole migration 'crisis' that has developed in the Med.  

Just in the past week....around 8,000 refugees landed on the Italian island in the middle of the Med, and some indicators suggest another 8,000 over the next week.

3.  WELT had an interesting piece this AM over the persistent idea that Adolph Hitler had 'doppelgangers' (guys who were in appearance like him).  The topic comes up occasionally, and no evidence has ever been presented to make the case.

How the belief comes?  Well....there are so many appearances of Hitler....suggesting same day-same time....that there might have been a 'carbon-copy' guy walking around.

BS-factor?  Prior to 1930?  I might believe this to some minor degree.....but not a single 'insider' has given evidence of this...ever.
