Now where have I heard that before.  Oh yes, the "Schlageter Line"--in  
the very early 1920's there was in Germany a nationalistic,  
professedly socialist, movement waging an unremitting combat for a key  
point in "the global struggle against imperialism," the struggle  
against the Versailles Treaty.  One of the martyrs in that struggle  
was a young workingclass man named Schlageter.  Notable Communists of  
that time (Radek, Zinoviev)  responded by calling for political  
alliance with the movement of the martyr Schlageter--a party known as  
the NSDAP. A concept that Stalin, Thälmann, and Dimitrov disguisedly  
put into practice some 10 years later.
