He's right....
He's right....
But is he right about digging up Hitler's grave? Aren't there other claims about Hitler's final resting place?

Several, I believe; but he's right in that publishing his location (real or not) would create an iconic place for the Neo-facists... not something we really want, eh?

That is correct. It makes one wonder, however, why the KGB would have done this in 1970. I can't imagine the USSR's concerns would have simply been racism/anti-Semitism. More likely they feared the political clout of Fascists...
