In partial response to Lord Ras' request: I do not know of any Nazi 
recipes, but I can provide a source of recipes by their victims.  A well-
reviewed book that came out a few years back is "In Memory's Kitchen: 
A Legacy from the Women of Terezin", edited by Cara De Silva.  Here is 
the description from amazon.com:

"The heart of this book is a compilation of remembered recipes written 
down by malnourished women in Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp in 
Czechoslovakia. The women of Terezin recorded their recipes as a way 
to maintain their humanity and bring them comfort in the face of almost 
certain death. In stark contrast to the meager food they were eating in 
the camp, the recipes in these pages record the rich and robust 
tradition of Czech Jewish life."

I agree with Phlip and the others who have said that it's time to end the 
"Nazi" discussion.

from again...)
