Geoff:
Comparisons have been drawn on the group previously with Adolf 
Hitler. He was not German; he did not fit the Aryan criteria he laid 
down for those Gemans who fitted the Herrenvolk - the superior race 
who would rule the world - and yet he was feted and adored by his 
supporters because he appeared to be giving them the power which they 
sought. Which remarks would also apply to Adolf Voldemort it would 
seem....
