I COMPLETELY agree with Jack Lord (Letters, January 10) and Mr A L Fisk (Letters, November 10) regarding German domination of Europe.

What is going on in Europe is the beginning of the Fourth Reich.

Everybody knows the Third Reich was Adolf Hitler and his thugs. The First Reich started with Charlemagne being crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD.

It was not holy, nor was it Roman. It was German-dominated - for 1,000 years.

The Second Reich began when Kaiser Bill came on the scene. He also wanted domination. He was stopped by the First World War, when millions of innocent people went to their deaths to save Europe from Germany.

The Fourth Reich has been achieved by stealth - begun by the signing of the Treaty of Rome. Up to now 11 of the 15 EU countries are now in the Fourth Reich by adopting the Euro.

Germany has won - without a shot being fired. If we sign up, all our money will be controlled from Frankfurt.

Our Government will be reduced to a counsel-status puppet and all the people who died in wars for Britain will have died in vain.
