Chelsea Handler a "Nazi?" Oh, Come On, Stupid!

From the NSP News Service:  This woman is an idiot!  First, what does she mean by "Nazi" past?  Just about everyone who had a male (and often a female) ancestor in Reich Germany or Greater (ethnic) Germany had one relative or another -- or many -- who were in one or another branch of military service, at least between 1941 and 1945, when drafting became a "constant" in German life. So saying she has a "Nazi past" is rendered ridiculous. And let's remember that many German soldiers, sailors, fliers, even some SS personnel, were not members of the Nazi Party.

As for her bit about being partly Jewish and having an allegedly Jewish grandfather in the "Nazi" army, most individuals don't realize that while Jews were, almost to a fault, a hated commodity in Third Reich Germany, a few were not, and a few were even in military service to Germany. One interesting example is the first decorated German war hero of WW2 -- who was half Jewish (a "Mischling"). Rather than reveal his name, just "google"  the phrase "Jews in Hitler's Service" and see how many articles and books you come up with!

Finally, on a more personal note, NSP Commander Dr. Jacques Pluss had relatives who served in the armies of the Reich and the allied forces, depending on whether or not the forebears of those individuals emigrated to the United States around 1870 or stayed in Germany (they hailed from Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein; the Bavarians [from Dr. Pluss's maternal great-grandmother] were originally Roman Catholic, and the Holsteiners [from Dr. Pluss's paternal great-grandfather] were "evangelical" or, in other words, Protestant].)

Chelsea Handler explores grandfather's Nazi past

Late night star's turn on Lisa Kudrow's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' makes big impression

 

 

Chelsea Handler has given Lisa Kudrow's genealogy show, "Who Do You Think You Are?," a big boost after visiting Germany and uncovering her Jewish grandfather's military background. The late-night star's segment on the show has yet to air, but pal Kudrow admits it's already a big hit with network executives at TLC. Handler says, "I got to go to Nazi Germany. Well, it's not really Nazi Germany anymore. And I researched my grandfather, who was a German soldier, and I'm a half-Jew, half-German. So, for me, I thought that would be a good dynamic."



Kudrow says, "That was a lot of people's favorite episode at the network ... It couldn't have been an easy show to do." Handler adds, "I don't have a problem with people knowing that I'm part-Nazi because I'm a part-Jew, so I figured it was a perfect combo ... It's not like I'm gonna find out some terrible thing ... It actually turned out much better that I thought, and I got to see parts of the world I hadn't been to. So, that was exciting."
