THE novelty of Sylvia Noble (Letters, June 20) and her naive notions!

Her attempts to extol Hitler's Third Reich, I find to be nonsense and nauseating.

She states medical experiments on animals were strictly forbidden in the Third Reich - what about experiments on people against their will?

She also says fox hunting and ritual slaughter were likewise forbidden - what about wild boar hunting, Herman Goerings' favourite pastime?

But all of this aside, Hitler's Third Reich will forever remain responsible for the unspeakable atrocity committed in its name - stain upon humanity that should never be forgotten.

And culpable ignorance on the subject cannot be put forward as an excuse.
