So apparently Hitler trained dogs to talk during WWII.

thesun- Hitler tried to win World War Two with an army of talking dogs, amazing research shows. The barking-mad pet-lover believed the animals were almost as intelligent as humans and hoped they'd learn to communicate with their SS masters.
He set up a school to train them to talk, read and spell in the belief they could act as concentration camp guards - freeing up more soldiers to fight.
Star pupil at the school near Hanover, Germany, was Aire- dale terrier Rolf. He tapped out letters of the alphabet with his paws and was said to have speculated about religion and learnt POETRY.
He reportedly asked a visiting noblewoman: "Could you wag your tail?" Another mutt was said to have uttered the words "Mein Fuhrer" when asked who Hitler was - while another imitated a human voice to bark: "Hungry! Give me cakes" in German.
Other ludicrous experiments saw so-called scientists test telepathic communications between humans and dogs. The bizarre tale of Germany's educated dogs has now been detailed by Dr Jan Bondeson, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University School of Medicine, in his book Amazing Dogs: A Cabinet of Canine Curiosities.
Dr Bondeson, 49, said: "It is absolutely extraordinary stuff. There were some very strange experiments going on in wartime Germany regarding dog-human communication.
"It's a fascinating insight into a hitherto unknown facet of Nazi Germany, but there is no evidence it ever came to fruition."

What a fucking moron Hitler was. Teaching the dogs to talk wasn't going to do anything. They would still be dogs after all. It's not like they could hold rifles or drive jeeps around, or do whatever else the guards at concentration camps were doing. They can't even open and close doors. Basically, the dogs would be just like they always were, only they could also talk to you. Doesn't really seem like big advantage for the third reich. And what if once the dogs learned how to communicate, they said that they weren't really into being Nazi's anymore. Just look at Rolf for example. He speculated about religion and was into poetry. He doesn't really sound like much of a Nazi, now does he? And then what does Hitler do when the dogs reject Nazism? He can't really have them running his concentration camps, they would let everybody go free. Would he have the dogs executed? Seems like a bad idea after they spent all the time and money teaching the dogs how to talk in the first place. Hitler should have scrapped the program and trained a few more Red Skulls.
