Perhaps making a bizarre tale even more strange, evidence has yet to surface that would refute Albright’s outlandish claims. The letter supposedly written and mailed to him by Hitler was found on Albright’s person at the time of his arrest, and Albright’s colleagues at the Center for Near Eastern Studies have found the Dead Sea Scrolls, verified their authenticity, and are even excavating the site where they were allegedly found by Dr. Albright. Egyptian nationals who were captured in the Valley of the Kings by British troops have confessed to assisting in Hitler and Albright’s excavation of the tomb of Pharoah Tutankhamen, a man who, like Hitler, was obscure and unknown to the world until recent events. An official excavation of the site of discovery of the Coptic texts at Nag Hammadi, a Nile River town sixty miles north of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, has also supported Albright’s account of his journey with Hitler, Hess, and Williams. Williams was similarly punished by the British authorities, but unlike Albright, who has been stripped of all professional positions since his deportation to the United States, Williams has been retained on the staff of the New York American and has even written a feature piece, complete with color photographs taken by himself, that recounts in detail the journey of discovery up the Nile. Williams, a respected journalist who recently covered the Russian Revolution and who claims that he, too, was given evidence of Hitler’s supposed omniscience in a letter and felt compelled to accept his invitation to a meeting in Egypt, has supported all of Albright’s assertions. Herr Hitler, safe in Munich after a daring escape from British troops across the sands of the Sahara, has become the focal point for a test of wills in postwar Europe. The British government has requested both his extradition to stand trial for the same charges faced by Albright and Williams, and the return of the Nag Hammadi scrolls. The German judiciary, perhaps still seething like most Germans at the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles, has refused all requests for extradition and return, and Hitler remains in Munich, where he has started a party newspaper entitled New Times and has taken advantage of the international publicity firestorm to promote his political views, which can be summed up as a desire to see the Treaty of Versailles abrogated and Germany returned to its prewar status as a great power... |
