Survey: Many Germans Believe U.S. Sponsored Hitler By Scott Ott: About a third of young Germans believe the United States attacked itself on September 11, 2001, and that Adolf Hitler was a Cleveland-born foreign exchange student sponsored by the FBI.

The survey of 1,000 people for the weekly Die Zeit (The Pimple), also showed that most Germans believe the following:

— The U.S. paid the Emperor of Japan to attack Pearl Harbor in hopes it would lead eventually to more fuel-efficient cars.
— The U.S. has sponsored four of the last five San Francisco earthquakes.
— David Hasselhoff really drives a talking car and is the greatest rock and roll singer of the past 100 years.
— CNN and MSNBC are American news organizations
