I was shocked to see a quote by a Nazi General, Heinz Guderian, chosen by Dr George Triadafilopoulos as the lead in to his editorial on treatment of Barrett's esophagus containing early neoplasia, Blitzkrieg for Barrett's Esophagus Containing Early Neoplasia, in the January 2010 issue of Clinical Gastroen-terology and Hepatology. Is Dr Triadafilopoulos not aware that General Guderian commanded the initial invasion forces that attacked Poland starting World War II, as well as Panzergruppe 2 in its criminal invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941? Among his other activities he served on an army court that expelled hundreds of German officers thought to be opposed to Hitler's policies after the plot against Hitler in 1944. These officers were then turned over to the notorious people's court with many being executed. It is true he was not tried as a war criminal, although this was protested by both the Polish and Soviet governments.
