Default Nazis were green

I was looking around for some books and came across what can only call the most odd book I have ever seen.

http://www.amazon.com/How-Green-Were.../dp/0821416472

The picture on the cover of the book reminded me of when they found the trees in the shape of the nazi cross.

The minute they showed it on TV I knew that the next day they would go there and lop the trees down, and that's what happend!

They really was green, at least sort of.

Out of the political side, their youth organization (Hitlerjugend ?), was mid way between boy scouts and bird watchers.

The hero should be ready to fight in wild areas.
