Historian Dr Jan Bodenson of Cardiff University has uncovered documents in Berlin state library revealing a bizarre scheme of Adolf Hitler to have trained dogs help Nazi Germany win WW2. German animal psychologists of the period claimed dogs could be almost as intelligent as humans, citing Rolf who, they claimed, could relay messages using his paws, had learned some poetry and was speculating about religion!
Sadly for us, it isn't recorded what conclusions Rolf came to.
