The Jewish U.S. soldier who was instrumental in finding Adolf Hitler's last will and testament during World War II has died at the age of 86.

Arnold Hans Weiss – born Hans Arnold Wangersheim – a banker and attorney who lived in Chevy Chase, Maryland, died of pneumonia. His wife predeceased him in 2005; he is survived by two sons and three grandchildren.

Weiss played a pivotal role in the final days of the war as a member of a counter-intelligence unit. Together with a British intelligence officer and historian, and a second U.S. intelligence agent, Weiss helped track down SS Standartenfuhrer Wilhelm Zander, chief aide to Martin Bormann. It was Bormann who had controlled access to Hitler.

After finding Zander posing as a gardener at a Bavarian farmhouse, Weiss translated as the team questioned him until he finally broke down, revealing his identity. Zander described Hitler's last days in the bunker and the fate of other Nazi officials as well.

At last, he said, “I suppose you want the documents.” He revealed that Hitler's last will and testament, as well as the certificate of his deathbed marriage to Eva Braun, were stored in a hidden compartment of a suitcase.

Wow, if Hitler really believed that nonsense that he didn’t start the war he must have been truly psychotic.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch

As Michael Savage says, “the enemy is within.” Our elected leaders are supposed to protect from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Hopefully it’s not too late because the enemy has infiltrated every facet of our society like a cancer which has spread from our schools all the way to the oval office.
