I made the mistake of watching this History Channel program: Nazi Guerrillas. It is fraught with propaganda and inaccuracies throughout, that even an amateur enthusiast could recognize. Then at the end, as if worried the "proper" parallels would not be drawn, the program shifts to Iraq.

I wondered how organized and orchestrated an effort had been launched and searched the web. I was not disappointed. Although I missed this drumbeat at the time, from Condoleeza Rice to the History Channel to obscure professors to NRO to Harpers, there was a decided ploy to dig up and overplay a small and ineffective episode at the end of WWII and use it to further the war in Iraq.

[New York Times] Condoleezza Rice, the president's national security adviser, compared the Iraqi guerrillas to the Nazi Werewolves who resisted the Allies after World War II; Rice pleaded for patience and suggested that building democracy in Iraq might take a very, very long time.
