Had Hitler been killed, his replacement might have sued for a separate peace with the Western Allies and that was something Stalin feared more than Hitler alone.
I totally agree with your statement here : Stalin's plans were different, if not opposed, than the Western's ones; the best example being the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in 1939, a Treaty of Non-Aggression but also dividing Northern and Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence.
About the engraving, it is used in different sources : - Toilets of the World by Morna E. Gregory & Sian James http://stormpoo.com/index.php?/about/2/ - http://www.peartree-miniatures.co.uk/topic.html I've found another one here : http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/TofdayB1.htm
According to this article about Robin Hood: As so much in legends, the historical truth isn't what matters. Instead it is the legendary deeds of Robin Hood that excite us. The man who challenged the state, who dared to take what the rotten government claimed to own, the man who not only did these deeds himself, but also recruited others to help him and in doing so, gained the trust and affection of his people. It?s a legend that will never lose its appeal.Make sure that he wouldn't have been an iconic figure for communism or other totalitarian regime.http://mises.org/article.aspx?Id=1492 An individual VS the establishment ... way too dangerous 😮

Good things are worth the wait.For the second straight year, the Miss USA Pageant is facing charges of liberal bias. Miss Michigan Rima Fakih, a Muslim who was born in Lebanon, was crowned Miss USA 2010 on Sunday night. The harshest attack on Fakih so far has come from conservative blogger and talk show host Debbie Schlussel. She claimed that Miss USA has "many relatives" who are terrorists and that a Hezbollah supporter helped bankroll her pageant run. http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/controversy-swirls-around-miss-usa-winner-rima-fakih/19480750
A former Hitler Youth member discussed his experiences to a Colorado school recently. He said this:
His father, a doctor, disagreed with the Nazi ideology and spoke about it at home. Schendel repeated what he'd heard to Nazi officers while training with Adolf Hitler's youth league, not knowing it would get his father in trouble. German soldiers came one night to take his father away, and Schendel has never seen him since, he said.
Interesting read.Man tells of being forced to join Hitler youth league

The annual National Rifle Association (NRA) Convention is about more than just guns. It's a celebration of a culture that is distinctly American.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8684222.stm Guess who's the star speaker
